Scattering Stories Shared

A burial at sea by US Navy Seals.

We spread my mother's ashes at Santa Anita Racetrack. But we ran into a small "glitch," because at the top of the hillside turf course, & just as we were letting go with mom's ashes, a stiff wind came up, & there went mother's ashes - all over the whole place! But really, I think mom would've wanted it that way - to be in every nook and cranny of Santa Anita - she loved horseracing & the track so much!

HawaiiEvery time someone in my family dies, after they are cremated, we fly out to Hawaii with their ashes and take a boat out to the very same GPS coordinates where we have been spreading the ashes of all our family members for the last few decades.
