We picked her up this afternoon. I don't know what to say. This post, like others may be a bit raw, I hope I don't shock anyone... I had to weigh the urn when we got home. About 6 lbs. Keith asked me if I weighed it so I could tell her when we get to Heaven how much weight she had lost! She wanted to lose weight, like most women...
I got her ring back, the one she wore all the time on her left ring finger. It says "Trust=Faith". It's a cheap Walmart ring, but she obviously liked it very much, she never took it off. We teased her that it looked like a wedding ring and I think she wanted that. It's on my middle finger now.
On est allé la chercher aujourd’hui. Je ne sais pas quoi dire. Ce post, comme les autres, sera peut-être un peu cru, j’espère ne choquer personne. J’ai voulu peser l’urne quand on est rentré. A peu près 2,7 kilos. Keith m’a demandé si je l’avais pesée pour lui dire quand on sera au paradis qu’elle avait perdu tout ce poids ! Elle voulait perdre du poids comme la plupart des femmes…
J’ai récupéré sa bague, celle qu’elle portait tout le temps a son annulaire gauche. C’est une bague bon marché, mais elle l’aimait vraisemblablement beaucoup, elle ne l’enlevait jamais. On se moquait gentiment d’elle en lui disant que ca ressemblait a une alliance. Je pense que c’est ce qu’elle voulait.
La bague est sur mon majeur maintenant.
That's a great idea.The weight that is. Thank you for showing her ring. I took a couple days away from her fb and blog. Thought about the fact that she is the first of my friends, in my age bracket to pass on. The idea of my mortality, and the mortality of those I know is looking me in the face today--to remind me that this moment is the only moment we are assured. Spent most of the day outside in the cool-crisp mountain air, breathing, walking and loving each moment as it passed.
