... I stood there like an alien watching as they placed the casket with Allan's ashes into the plot at Barrhill. It feels like it was only weeks ago, I suppose like everything does. I was standing there watching, your family completely unconcerned for me, and I suppose more for themselves than for you my love. I suppose I can understand that to a degree; after all, you are the one who has died and I suppose the living have to suffer the pain of your loss. My baby, I stood there thinking "who's going to give me any comfort, consolation or just some words?" I didn't receive any, well except for the Minister, a decent man and thoroughly understanding of the situation (and I think quite taken aback by your family's attitude towards me). In the long run, the ones who treated Allan badly will have their own conscience to answer to. I just hope that they realise that they have guilt over the way they behaved and change their attitude before it's too late.
