his birthday is on the 24th and im thinking of riding down to the outerbanks to visit him at his favorite fishing pier. the place he said he loved most in all the world and where we spread his ashes. he's always there casting and reeling with my sisters on that perfect day where they caught over a dozen a piece. at night we're underneath the pier with flashlights and buckets catching crabs then releasing them all at once. he's in the waves laughing at something that struck him particularly humorous and in the sand carelessly napping with a slight grin.

 

I think it is beautiful that you would go/ do go to his place. I also want to be cremated and to be scattered in a couple places- Most people think having a tombstone is good b/c there is a place for your remaining loved ones to visit you and mourn but I think being scattered in a place meaningful to you would be more personal for your loved ones.
You worded this beautifully.
I think you should definitely go.....

 

i fully agree about scattering the ashes of loved ones and will do it myself when the time comes. it has really helped me get through some tough times knowing he's somewhere he loved and not just in the ground.

thank you ocean
