We have set a date to spread Kim’s ashes, April 18th. It seems really soon (3 months), but Kim’s parents are not in good shape (they are elderly and both have cancer). She wanted her ashes spread at her parent’s property where she grew up. We will have to take side-by-side 4x4s to get to the spot. Her mom has been a little upset about the plan. She says she doesn’t want Kim “down there” by the creek. So I got her a small hand carved wooden urn. It won’t hold much, but it is more to comfort her than anything. I also got one for me. The organ transplant company gave us some small vials with Kim’s EKG in it. So I am putting a small amount in those for our daughter, grandkids and her sister. I asked if they wanted a small urn and they said no. Our grandson, 8, wants to help spread the ashes. I don’t think our granddaughter, 4, will but we will ask her that day.
I also got myself a necklace that I can put a micro amount in.
The point of this long thread is that it feels final. I talk to her all the time. I don’t want to lose that.
