wow...an update, and a depressing one at that.
well i havent updated this in ages, but i felt i needed to write down this as it is significant to me and upsetting.
it seems such a stupid thing to be so upset about, but we sprinkled my Grandmas ashes under a willow tree in the crematorium a couple of years ago when she died. She loved willow trees and so it was a really special spot for her ashes to be sprinkled. It also was a marker for us (family) to show where she had been sprinkled, so that when we wanted to go there to put flowers down and stuff (which i do every 2 or 3 months) we could know excatly where her ashes had been. Now i know she herself is not there or whatever, but it was a significant spot for me where I could go and just spend a few minutes remembering her.
I went up there today and the willow tree had been cut down completely. God this sounds so stupid. but it really upset me as that is why we sprinkled the ashes there, because she loved willow trees. And now its gone, the place is meaningless, and there is nowhere i can go to feel close to my grandma anymore apart from my memories, but thats not a physical place.
