Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Island stories: Ashes
I have 4200+ messages to catch up on; purrs to all in need. I'll post a few pieces I wrote while out on the island: The morning after I'd arrived at the island, I took Frank's ashes and set ut for the rosebush where I'd scattered Nikki's ashes last summer. Frank had followed me on that trek, but no one followed me now, though Caliban and Miranda usually followed me around while we were there. At the bush, I said hello to Nikki and told her Frank would join her now so she wouldn't have to be alone on the island for all those months that we weren't there. I then opened the bag and let Frank's ashes scatter in the light breeze. I stood there a while, thinking about my two old friends who were now together under that bush, then I took some pictures of the bush and the view from their final resting place. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining, the sea was blue, there was a nice little wind. As I walked back to my shed, I felt a little lighter. On the day that I took Frank's ashes to the bush, only one rose was in bloom on it. http://community.webshots.com/photo/552460626/2245477670058511339XIIHfB When I went back a few days later, it was suddenly covered in bloom! It was as if all the roses had come out to greet my gorgeous boy. http://community.webshots.com/photo/552460626/2989276430058511339WkzGYq  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Sandy > Somebody's telling you it was the right thing to do! That it was. I have felt so much better since I took Frank's ashes to the rosebush; light at heart, sure I did the right thing, able to move on. I did keep a little portion of the ashes, and am still looking for a pendant where I can keep them. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Some of them have a little hinged box that you could put Frank's ashes in. I loved the greebling hunt pictures.

How about a scent pendant? It's to hold perfume, so if it's tight enough for a liquid, it should be fine for ashes. There are some nice ones here: http://store.stormsong.org/cart/section.php/76/0?source=Google&gclid=CML7_cDxp4Y CFQhbWAod5ysqqw SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Thanks, Britta! I was thinking of something very simple, like the metal capsule pendants on that site, but now I see all these alternatives... OTOH, if I'm going to wear it for a long time, I'd better keep it simple, so I don't look at it in ten or twenty years' time and go, 'what was I thinking?' Hmm, have to think about this some more.

Another thing you can do in addition is to keep some of the ashes in a "keepsake urn". You can do a search for those, and it should bring up thousands of sites. ::sniffle:: God bless.

So glad to hear they're together again. (And I'm glad you kept a bit of Frank's ashes for yourself, too, for when you're not on the island.) It's a lovely place for them both.
