This is for Kel if he still reads these. I remember back in 1980 when my older sister died from a hereditary kidney disease which we both got from our father. I have the disease now too but mine is more norm that hers was. Hers was very severe and onset very early in her life. She died at age 35. My father had died with I was just 16 and he never knew either one of us inherited this disease from him. I remembered when my father died that my Mother let my grandmother, His Mother, have anything she wanted at the funeral and she told us kids that my Grandmother's loss was more than ours because there is no greater loss than losing a child. I didn't really understand that until my sister died and I saw what my mother went through. I have never had any children and I never will have because I don't want to pass this disease any further than it has already gone in my my family but I remember what my mother said at my sister's funeral and my mother was right...parents are not supposed to bury their children.
Kell, I applaud the decision for Michael to be cremated. I too want to be creamted when I die and my ashes spread on a horse farm because I love horses so much. For Michael's ashes to be scattered at the harbor to me means that he is everywhere around us and somehow that's just a comforting feeling for me. I hope it is for you too.
