My first time...


Well, my wacky sister has dragged me to the blogging field. She swears by it, she loves it , she lives by it....wacky, wacky wacky.....anyway here I go.....
Why the sad angel on my big introduction day? It is who I am for this moment... My very best friend died almost three years ago and he called me before he passed and made me promise to spread his ashes at the ocean. His "real" family could not bring themselves to let his ashes go until now. They had spread part of them in the woods up North, he wanted that...and then he wanted me to bring him to the ocean. I promised. I have to. Now that his ashes are here and I can finally do it I feel a very big hole in my heart filling up. I did not realize that I have been carrying this with me for three years, pushing it down, waiting, waiting , waiting....well now he's here and it is time...I think I'll wait , keep him near a little while longer until I am ready to let him go....
