Suicide
That was the official verdict of the court inquest which met today. It wasn’t a surprise and it was what we wanted. I think it will officially say that my dad ‘took his own life while the balance of his mind was troubled’. Pretty good summary really.
There were harrowing points about being there, but I’m glad we were there - me, my mother, Himself, my uncle, my grandmother (mum’s mum) and two family friends. I cried at one part that I won’t go into, but I am glad I got to hear the official reports.
There was nothing else anyone could have done. That much is certain.
So tomorrow we pick ourselves up and carry on. But today, I am sad.
And it’s my third wedding anniversary. There are better ways to spend it, but all this has taught me that I chose the exact right man for me. Happy anniversary, sweetheart. I love you so incredibly much.
