I spread my Dad's ashes in one of his favourite places in the world while doing one of his favourite activities, listening to some of his favourite music, followed by a pour & swig of his favourite beverage, rootbeer. It was a bittersweet day & I'm glad for this closure. ๐ฅบ๐ซถ
It's been a year since my father passed away. The last time I saw him in person was for my wedding, 7 months before he died. He made stage 4 cancer look great in that blue suit! ๐ฅฐ I'm briefly back in Canada to spread his ashes with my family & get some closure. ๐ฎโ๐จ This is hard.
