I am finally going to do it! I am going to Spain at the end of this month and doing it.
This will be part I. I have decided to scatter part of her ashes in the place where she grew up and part in Tahiti or Fiji. She loved those pacific Islands and I think it would be nice to be able to do that for her. I like the idea of her “essence being in those two places that meant something to her.

My mom passed away in October 2006. In March 2007 I took her ashes to the town of her grandparents where she would spend summers. She often talked about it as a place where she was very happy. I chose the place also because my aunt (who is like a second mom to me) still owns a parcel of land there and which has been in my family for many many years. I too have spent many times in this tiny little village while I was child.
So in March I set out to spread her ashes but it was very cold and very windy and I just did not feel right about it. So I decided I should wait until it feels right. Besides.. I wanted to do it on a day where I could spend as long as I wanted to there and contmplate the moment.
So… I have to go again at some point… I live in the US and this place is in Spain but I will create the opportunity soon.
