He's actually right here with me now
In a pine box, on my desk, with his watch, to remind me : time flies
:bites lip:
My sister got his last watch, she has always cared more for possessions than me. I've got his army machete and his tie made in the Marshall tartan.
I think I understood him much better than she ever did though. She still criticises him for retiring early and running down his capital. I think good on him, he earned it let him spend it how he wants. I'm happy to have a modest little house in a part of France crammed full of castles but she would have prefered some mansion near a Medditeranean beach.
I shepparded him all the way, at the ICU I was there looking in his eyes when he departed
I ran the whole op from there, hospital to funeral to the ovens
Then I brought his ashes home, and here they sit
In terms of possessions, he left me a generous inheritance
he knew he would and he was proud and happy for it
He said take it with all my love and make a great life with that wife of yours, she's amazing
