That was a beautiful entry and a wonderful way to remember Bryan. Thank you for sharing with us how you grieve and how to learn to keep moving forward. May we all do this with as much grace and dignity as you when our times come.

Thanks for sharing this. Very beautiful. I like the journey his ashes may take – that route sounds very adventurous.

Thanks, all, for the love and support.

I have to disclaim: the photos are courtesy of Zach, my in-house semipro photographer.

It was a peaceful and bittersweet outing – a lovely way to remember him.

Holy – yes, I was a little fearful of dropping the urn. You just can’t see the white-knuckled grip in the photo.

The boys and I are doing ok. I think I’ve been sleeping a little better since the outing, although last night was painful again. Ben was contemplative during the boat trip and seems lighter-hearted since. Zach was, as always, helpful and supportive even if rather distracted by his lovely GF.

The weather WAS glorious that day – I like to think Bryan had an alchemic hand in it…

Morbid question, but were you fearful of dropping the urn in the water by accident? Just asking, is all.

Your flower petal/blue water pics are stunning.

I told Curt about the journey and world travels of those ashes and he thought that was the coolest thing. Jonika wondered if the water would drown the ashes.

And I just wonder how you and the boys are.

Jeri, What a really nice “post”! I too noticed the wreath of rose petals surrounding our little flotilla. It was truly a special experience, our two families and friends sharing this for Bryan.
Love, Mom

Wonderful ceremony and the urn is spectacular. And fitting that it is Memorial Day weekend.
