C is for cremation
So...I have this crush...or should I say I've had this crush for a while...and it heats up and them simmers down all the time. I guess that's a good thing considering there's quite a distance between us and all.
I saw the box of Klaus' ashes on the fireplace mantle the other day, and I felt compelled to open it. When I did so, I saw a solid brick of scented ashes wrapped in a foil-like wrapping. Wow..that's life...all that's left of my beautiful companion is a brick of his remains. Did the vets really think a card would make the pain better? Assholes...
I love the moments that are memories in the making--like what Grace and I did the other day. We took a nighttime drive up to otay lakes and parked her car to the side of the dirt road. There we stood, watching the lake and listening to all of nature's sounds, while at the same time losing ourselves in music. I love moments like that. We talked of our first loves and reminisced in times past. Though it was only half an hr, it felt so magical at the time.
I want to feel that way forever.
