Thanks for sharing and sorry for the loss. One of my five sisters swears our mom and #3 sister have shown up after passing on. They did not visit me, but then, they didn't when alive neither. On the other hand, I lost my BF this summer, and I know I felt his breath at sunrise indicating it was time for his walk and heard footsteps chasing a ball down our hallway for a few weeks but now all is silent. Guess he found another buddy.

Thank you, and I'm sorry for your loss too. Some tried to tell me it was just a dream, but I know it was real. I have never experienced anything like it before.
Hugs

Some bits of your story remind me of my husband and his strength through years of illhealth. I love the fact that your Des was determined to have the last word. May your memories stay wrapped around you always.

Thank you. It was a bit scary at then, but it didn't really surprise me that he had to have the last word. He wasn't all tough, he could be kind and I made him into a cat lover.
Comment from Spitfire
Talk about stubborn! But I have to admire him too. Sounds as if he definitely came back to admonish you. That he knew you buried his ashes is a good clue. When my sister passed away, my husband saw her ghost for a few seconds but she didn't say anything.

Thank you. It was scary at the time, but when I thought about it, I wasn't surprised. He was stubborn and angry even before he died. His attitude was, how dare death come when he wasn't ready to go. He was 89.
Hugs.
Comment from mermaids
My husband John, who passed away this past April, often was non compliant with medical treatment, so I can relate to Des' attitude towards being sick. He sounds like a strong personality so no wonder he was still hanging around. I often feel my husband is still around in the house. Excellent story here, I enjoyed reading it.

Thank you. Des was an extremely strong an opinionated individual. He made a lot of enemies with his outspoken ways. I got along with him because I ignored his ornery atitude. I turned him into a cat lover, too, which surprised a lot of folks.
Hugs
Comment from LJbutterfly
Des sounds like a very strong willed man. Things were his way or no way. I'm married to one of those guys, except mine WILL go to the doctor. I'm glad you have Pup and the cats to keep you company. I know Pup heard Des just as you did. This is an interesting supernatural true story, and is well written. Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you. Des was extremely strong willed. In his mind, sickness was not a man thing, so he chose to ignore it. The doctors said a colonospoly early enough might have prevented the cancer.

Comment from royowen
Guys are funny, I remember a friend of mine who passed away relatively young, he was a bit of a pest, a quirky character, similar in nature to on of my brothers. When Anthony was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer at the age of fifty, and was told his death sentence, he actually became alive, I've never seen a man go from being a little cynical to being most joyful and joy filled and so loving, he hugged me, (that was not like him) shortly he died, he's dancing in the courts of the Lord, yes, he was a believer, he's not the first, many I've known have joyfully gone to meet their beloved maker, angels and Jesus have turned up. Beautifully written Blessings dear friend, Roy

Thank you. A friend of ours did get Des to pray and ask for forgiveness before he died. It kind of surprised me because Des was not religious in any way. I don't think Des was afraid to die, he just wasn't ready yet. He did things on his terms.

Yes, he was very blokey. Even though I was a competitive sportsman I wasn?t really blokey.
Comment from Terry Broxson
A virtual six, a really good story for the contest, good luck, I think it should do really well. My wife, Zoe, died on 11-1-2018 a month before Des. She was cremated per her request, and spread her ashes on a Texas beach she favored, but she never yelled at me. Excellent writing, Terry.

Thank you, and thanks for sharing your story with me. Des always did things on his terms and he wasn't ready to die yet. It did make him angry.
Hugs.
Comment from Sarah Robin
I enjoyed reading your story! I had some times like that after my husband died. I searched for days for some tax information. One night, he woke me up and told me where it was. I don't know how that happened. Maybe I just remembered, but it did happen! I always love reading your work. Sarah

Thank you. Des always wanted to control everthing, and he felt things were out of control when they gave him the diagnosis. I wasn't all that surprised that he got the last word in.

Oh, this made me laugh!!!
Definitely Des, if as you say, he was a narcissistic man. lol My last boyfriend was like that, and I can say without a doubt that Des was one lucky guy to have someone like you around to stick by him for all those years. What you must have put up with!
I know that mine, who was very impressive in the beginning, after 10 years, was turning into a replica of his father... an out and out nightmare! I'm a patient girl, but George was something else. I bet you can still find the George writings in my portfolio. What a nightmare. If I'd had him for a father, I may have committed Hari Kari. lol
Well, I'm so glad you hear from Des once in a while, though I'm sorry he's interrupting your sleep. Maybe he'll find a less frantic way of communicating? lol
Susan :)

Thank you. He hasn't been back since that one time. I think he just couldn't leave without getting the last word in. He was difficult to live with but I managed. I made him into a cat person which suprised everyone who knew him.

A compelling and moving story. Shows great strength of character both in Des and the writer. It definitely sounds like a visitation from Des to make sure he registered his last protest!
