OK, it's finally done. I'm sorry it's taken me so long - I like to think I'm dealing pretty well with Josh's death, 3 years after the fact, but it still takes working up some gumption to actually send "him" off. I tell you, cremains are weird...it's hard to look at them and think "this was my brother." It just really hits me that he's gone, gone, gone.
No worries - about 10 minutes in, it was all gallows humor and wondering how much 1 scoop of ashes is - is it a liver? A leg?
Sorry...maybe too gallows for some folks.
At any rate, thank you again to everyone who's volunteered so far to help, and if you wanted to scatter some ashes but haven't sent me your address, please PM me and I'll send some along.
I'd like this to be not just a way of sending my brother's spirit to places he never got to see, but also of spreading his memory, so I've sent along some stickers with a picture of him and the memorial website address so skater punks and others will hopefully see it and visit the site and know who my brother was and what he meant to me.
Love to you all.
