Rebanne Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Today, 31/08/04 should have been Sam's 9th birthday. I am still struggling to come to terms with his loss. Last night, after work, I took Sam's ashes out to our local greyhound track and scattered them around the finishing line. There were a lot of ashes so I spread some past the finishing line too, as in first past the post. And it was more like poured than spread. Cremation ashes aren't like the ashes from a wood fire, light and fluffy. When I turned back I saw that the dark ashes stood out plainly against the light sand of the track. In the middle of my sobs I also had to giggle. I hope the track people don't think a terrorist has been and laid down "suspicious powder" I had seen the track secretary the day before and told him what I was going to do but not when I was doing it. So Sam's bodily remains have now been set free but it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
