As always, you write so beautifully about so many hard things 🧡 I was with my father when he died and it was such a strange experience and such a defining moment in my life. One moment he was my dad, and the next moment he was a dead body. It really hit home how we will all end up at the same place, which is oddly comforting to me.
On a funny note though, my cat died a few weeks before my dad and when his ashes were ready to be picked up, the pet crematorium called me and said "Pippin is ready to come home" which I thought was so sweet. When my dad's ashes were ready to be picked up, the funeral home left a very curt message saying "You need to come and pick up his ashes, and if you fail to do so within three months, we will dispose of them". Quite a difference in customer service 🙄
