On Emmy's behalf
We have a checklist of things to do, but no particular order in which to do them.
Emmy has left notes all over the place, instructions for each of us to carry out over the next couple of weeks. Her very first note told us all to crack open a bottle of wine last night and have a drink for her - we didn't need telling twice. We did need more than one bottle, however.
Her next instruction is this:
"I'm handing over my blog now to Gemma, Karl and Josh - I know you'll know what to do with it. Just follow your hearts and write whatever feels right, if anything at all. It was never a big deal anyway, but I know certain people (R, for one) do read it. Tell him Panda! Sorry if that freaks anyone out, I'm not meant to be talking from here, am I? Over to you, guys and doll!"
We don't really know where to go with this, we talked about it this morning. We don't want to dominate it with "us" and how we're feeling - it was Emmy's space.
So we decided we would just start by linking the list of songs Emmy has picked out for her funeral - there might be more added or we might not be allowed this many, but this is what our girl asked for.
Stereophonics - Dakota
Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden
Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are (kind of chosen by someone else)
Noisettes - Never Forget You
Robbie Williams - Baby Girl Window (for Brooke and Ashley)
Take That - Rule The World (for her dad)
That's all from us for now.
Karl, Gemma, Josh
