After we all said our goodbyes we filed out of the room one by one, Carlisle stayed behind to cover Charlie over and make arrangements with the hospital he worked for to pick the body up.
None of us seemed to know what to do with ourselves, but everyone seemed to find something to occupy them. Jasper and Alice went out hunting. Emmett tuned into the live game, he and Charlie had been excited about yesterday whilst Rosalie headed to the garage to work on her car. Esme busied herself in the kitchen sorting out all the leftover food, whilst Jacob and Renesmee cuddled up on the sofa, pretending to be interested in the game that Emmett had on, but I could hear Renesmee and Jacob sobbing and given Edwards strained expression he could sense how upset they both were.
Edward and I decided to go sort through Charlies things. He hadn't brought much with him, Just his clothes, toiletries and a box file, which he'd told me to open once he was gone. I asked Edward to fold up all of Charlies clothes so we could pass them on to goodwill whilst I sat on his bed to open the box file.
Inside there was a couple of A4 envelopes and a selection of sentimental photo's. The first A4 envelope was labelled. Funeral arrangements. Inside Charlie had written a list of requestions.
* I don't want you all to be miserable at my funeral, I want it to be a celebration rather than a wake, if you don't think you can manage that Bella can you please ask Alice to arrange a party, I know she'd do me proud.
* I wish to be cremated, but I hate the thought of my ashes being stuck in the ground, instead I would like my ashes to be scattered in to water, somewhere with plenty of fish.
* I'm sure you'll understand this Bella but I have left my house and estate to Phil. Since Renee died 5 years ago he's struggled a little and who knows maybe he'll settle down in Forks for his final years, I had always intended to leave my house to you, but I now it's not something you'd be able to make use of.
I put the letter to the side and smiled, I am sure we could give Charlie a good send off. I was also glad about his gesture to Phil.
