A letter written to our darling Teddy, the day after his funeral service. Wednesday 15th June 2016.
Dear Teddy,
Yesterday was as heart breaking as I had been expecting. I feel numb. These past four weeks have moved in slow motion as we have built up to saying our final goodbye. The vicar was so lovely; he said so many things that made so much sense to me. “Grief does not last forever, but love does.” I think those words will stay with me forever; and I certainly hope that this feeling does not. I know that our love for you will, all of our love.
