Lyn's Journey

I spoke with John Allen last week. He told me he scattered Lyn's ashes on Lake Afton on her birthday, October 15th. Afton is a small lake just outside of Wichita. Steve and I will sometimes venture out there when we need to see a bit of water. I'm sure it meant a lot to Lyn for John to go out, by himself and send her off. I find myself thinking of Lyn often. I'm sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes angry. Most of the time I like to remember her like I described at her service...enjoying some exotic food with a devilish little grin when I'd say "yuck!" Then I remember her and I'm smiling. I hope this continued send off for Lyn brings a little more healing to all of us.

I can't remember about what..but Mom has guilted me from beyond yesterday. She and Mommom are truly masters at the fine art of 'guilt'!
Anyway I still have her...I know I need to set her free..I'll do it soon(ish). I'm glad to know she's 2/3rds where she'd rather be. xoxo

Sandy,
You do what and when you feel it right. You'll know where and when soon enough.
