akira's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- all over Yesterday I went with my Nana to a memorial. The Neptune Society spread the ashes of my moms second Mom basically. My Mom and this wonderful woman, who I consider an aunt, and my mother were best friends since before birth. My aunt is one of those women that burnt her bra and never put it back on types. Amazingly natural (but shaves under the arms and legs) free spirited, fun, strong, caring, and seeing her cry was hard. She's where I got my uniqueness from, she's the one that taught me to be myself and don't give a flying fuck who has a problem with it, as long as your happy that's all that matters. The memorial was nice. She made there HUGE poster board collages of pics and what not including family, friends and those we've lost. I told her how her Mom and my Mom we're having one hell of a party there, and how they'd be laughing at us making such a to-do. Her Mom, a real lay it on the line type of lady full of class, would be going on and on about how this whole thing was MUCH too early in the morning for her liking. I still haven't done anything with my mom's ashes. They're over at my daughter's fathers house, awaiting me to gather the courage to complete her wishes. Last night I figured out what I'm gonna do. I graduate in May of 2003, either that weekend or the weekend after I'm going to complete it. I'll send out invitations to those that should be there, ask them to bring one thing that reminded them of my Mom, rent a cabin up at the lake have them all come up and have a huge good-bye to Mom. I think she'd like that. I'd love to have The Neptune Society thingie too but DAMN it's expensive. I'm all over the place today. Sorry.
