She had 63 "Earthly birthdays," and shortly before her 64th the Lord took her home.
Every year on this day I find myself wondering just what exactly do folks do in Heaven on birthdays. Maybe birthdays are just like any other day there. And maybe, just maybe...days aren't days at all. I have no idea what TIME is even like in Heaven.
Anyhoo...pictured here are where her remains lay. I never thought they'd be here in MY home. I was fine with having them at my Dad's place...but recent circumstances called for the urn to be relocated. So...here it is, and inside...there she is (at least the physical parts.)
Thankfully, I know that the true essence of my Mom can never be contained in a jar. Her soul now dwells in Heaven, full and in tact. Knowing that gives me great joy, and one of these good ol' days...I'll be right there along side of her.
With regard to MY physical remains...I would love to have my corpse placed on a bed of logs to be set afire and pushed out to sea. I find that to be the most beautiful way to lay one to rest. Legally I know it's not possible, but if it were...that's how I'd wanna be "sent off."
Nevertheless...I digress.
I said a little prayer today and asked God to give my Momma an extra special hug on this...her extra special day.
Happy 66th Birthday Mom! I love and miss you!!
Now (deep breath in)...Let the DIALOGUE begin: I know it's morbid to think about, but...how would you like for your body to be disposed of once it's time?
Talk to me!
Til nex time...

I know your loss too well. I've buried both parents now. One is in CA and father in NC. I don't want to be buried. I wanted to be cremated and have my ashes let free across the Pacific Ocean. Home at last again.
