A beautiful morning
Coffee’s on, oven’s heating, dough for bread is rising.
6:30 ish a.m.
Bear and I walked out to the teepee, took a right and followed the Nature Trail to a summit we like.
The swing is just in front of the teepee.
Light in the sky on our return turned the morning sky pastel pink and blue.
The green area is the RV park – beautifully landscaped to provide shade and privacy.
Such a beautiful morning for Bear and me.
Mid morning, I took a break for a Jeep ride with Bear and a walk along the Missouri on our loop walk at the state park.
We passed Big Sky Animal Medical Center. I had planned to phone and let them know I was in town and to see if they could let the crematory know…
As I passed, I just felt like I should stop.
I did.
Carly was helping someone else but she saw me, smiled and said “I was going to phone you next”.
Bob’s ashes were back from the crematory and I have them. The crematory put together a most beautiful and comforting package which included a certificate, a packet with a tuft of Bob’s fur and Bob’s ashes in a gorgeous tin painted with pansies.
I love pansies.
It all caught me a bit off guard. The fur nearly undid me. But, ultimately, it was all comforting.
I don’t believe that Bob’s spirit is in the earthly remains, but for me, it is comforting and helpful and I am so grateful to have this part of him with Bear and I as we go home.
A beautiful morning, in all ways.
