Dizzojay's Dean Dreams

 oday is the heavenly birthday of our beautiful jj1564 and so this is a special celebratory Jensen time to mark that ausipicious occasion.

As we all know that JJ would be SO excited about Jensen's new upcoming project, so here is a little something to commemorate both of these special events.

 I know I'm early, but I'm going to be travelling for quite a lot of tomorrow. I just wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate our lovely June's heavenly birthday tomorrow by shining a light once again on the greatest picture in the entire history of photography ... XD

Happy birthday JJ, I hope Dean buys you a big, expensive drink otherwise I'll be having words!

Today we laid jj1564 to rest at her favourite place, Hever Castle.

Sam scattered his Mum's ashes at the roots of a lovely little sapling which will, in time, grow into a stunning pink-blossomed flowering cherry tree.
The location was specifically chosen because it is inamongst lots of other plain green trees, so that when it blossoms it will really 'pop'!

Sam was an absolute trooper and we were all so proud of him.

So JJ will live on forever in the leaves and blossoms of this gorgeous little tree, and I look forward to watching it grow and flourish over the years !



Here are a few more pictures of the day:

Hi all

I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop! 

I'm gradually ploughing my way through all the requests and sending them off.  I've got about half of them sent out, and I can get a few more sent off this week.
 
I'm getting to a point however when I need to wait until next month before I send any more.  So if I haven't already let you know that I've sent yours or I let you know this week, then it'll be early September.

Everyone's request is on a spreadsheet on my laptop and I guarantee that you'll all get your things sent out, you'll just need to bear with me!

In the meantime, when you get your parcel, can you let me know - it'll really put my mind at rest knowing they've got to you safely!

I'm delighted that so many of June's things are going to good homes where they'll be loved and appreciated, but there are still a few things left, so check out the list and let me know if there's anything you fancy...

(And when I mention 'fancy', I don't just mean this...)

Been a little bit emotional tonight.  This picture popped up on my Facebook memories - two years ago today.



Miss you always my darling JJ x

So today was the day we said our farewells to jj1564.  I know many of you have watched it on the livestream, and for some of you that meant getting up or staying up until silly o'clock because of time differences, and I'm very grateful.  I know June would be too.

The recording of the funeral will be available for another seven days for anyone else who wants to see it. Instructions are here

Sam absolutely did his Mum proud, he looked so dapper, and had organised the day so that it went off smooth as silk.  Milly and I, together with another of June's Supernatural friends called Serena who's not overly active on social media, were very grateful to have had the chance to attend, and Sam made sure that his Mum's fandom life was relived throughout the ceremony; he has never once resented it or underestimated its importance to her.  The Celebrant's eulogy was peppered with Supernatural references and quotes!

Milly and I both gave readings which were difficult, but what we wanted to do.  We owed it to June, representing, as we were, her fandom side.  I think they were well received, and a lot of June's family at the ceremony, even ones we didn't know, thanked us.

Things finished up with Carry On my Wayward Son, and that was perfect.  That was the first question Sam had asked me - did I think that would be appropriate?  Needless to say I said 100% yes!

A couple of days before June passed away, Sam had brought her a fabulous Supernatural-themed wall hanging for her new room in the care home.  as it turned out, he never got to give it to her.  So today it was draped over the coffin.

At the end of the service he gave it to me.
I'll treasure it always.

OK, so I'm sorry (not really) if Im boring you wth bunny news... but, the sanctuary owner sent me this last night and I just, kind of melted.

How the hell do I choose two from this little bundle of gorgeousness????

*sorrynotsorry*



As an aside, I've been thinking about bunny names.  Normally, when I get a rabbit I like to see them and get to know them before I think of a name, but I've made an exception for exceptional times.

I have asked the sanctuary owner to reserve us a boy and a girl from this litter (once they're old enough to sex properly), and we have decided that the girl bunny will be called 'Juniper' in remembrance of June!
