I will be heading out Saturday morning to meet mother in Chattanooga. From there, we will be traveling to Mackinac Island where I will be scattering Allen's ashes.
It's been a stressful time as I have prepared myself emotionally for this trip. Actually, it's more than a trip. It's a symbol of letting go of the past and moving onto the future. My birthday is on June 24th. We wanted to get to the island before he died but never made it. I am going to scatter him off the shore lighthouse that was in the movie, "Somewhere in Time."
Right now, I am headed to the funeral home to have his ashes transferred into a scattering urn. I will update later and post some pictures of where I will be headed.
Hugs!
About Me
- Angelique
- The purpose of my blogger is to update my friends and family on my new life's journey. I am on a road which I didn't ask to be on nor are their roadsigns to guide my path. I have been hanging out with new friends and old ones. My husband, Allen, died suddenly on August 19, 2008. Since that tragic night, my life is not and will never be the same. The one lesson I have learned is that in this life, always to remember that life is short. Tomorrow is not guaranteed to us. Over the last several months, this lesson of life has been something I've come to live by. NEVER take those you care about for granted. Love now, live now, and laugh with them now. Spend time with them and be there for them now. As Dr. Trudy Tharpe of the Alabama Grief Foundation told me: you are not the same lady I met back in September of 2008. That is a true statement. I seem to be emerging a new woman without Allen. What the new me will look like, I do not know. But, let the birthing begin!
I will be keeping you in prayer.
