Don't know what category this fits, so I'll share it here, great story I read today.
"Found in Florida! So one of the owners of a hotel, Judi was walking on the beach this morning cleaning up the junk that washed into shore and finds a bottle with a message in it. There is also some sand and 2 one dollar bills. Once we get it open and read the notes we find out that it is in fact NOT sand. It is the ashes of this woman's husband of 70 years named Gordon. She writes that He loved to travel so she sent him traveling in a bottle with a note and money for someone to call home and tell her where he landed. He started at Big Pine Key in March of 2012 and then went to Islamorada where someone found him. They added a note and sent him traveling again and he landed on our beach in Key Colony. Judi called the wife in Tennessee who was excited to know of Gordon's travels! Judi added her note, we put him in a rum bottle (you know added a little fun to his trip) with the three notes. We added another dollar in case Gordon travels far and a long distance call is needed. We will be having a memorial service or celebration of his life on our beach later today before sending him on his way again." |

Awww!
Then I woke up. While the concept of such a story might pull at your heartstrings, not likely. In the reality of life, we all preserve our loved ones in our memories in which they never die. Truly, the only time someone we love actually dies is only when all our memories of them are lost to time. As long as you tell the story of your loved ones, they remain here and only when those stories are long forgotten will they truly be missed. |
