One reason we are here is to visit with my Brother Jim and my Sister-in-Law Sherry. This is the weekend that Jim wanted to release my Mom's ashes. She passed away two years ago today. Jim, my little sister Cathy, my little brother Jack, along with my nephew Mark were together to release my Mom's ashes. We gathered some blue flowers (her favorite) and pink Gerberer Daisys and headed for the Ventura Harbor beach. It was a very simple release. Cathy and I went out into the water while Jim, Jack and Mark watched. Cathy threw flowers and I tossed the ashes. Here are a few photos.
Once we were finished, we got into Cathy's car and her music was playing "we are all angels" so we sang along with it and called my sister Colleen and sang to her on the cell phone. We felt Mom's presence and happiness to have this time to be able to say another good-bye although we know she is always in our hearts and her Spirit lives with the brightest of all lights for each of us at any given moment. We are blessed!
