Ever since my teen years, I knew I wanted to be cremated, I just didn't know where I wanted my ashes spread. For a while, I wanted them spread at the old creek pool at Camp Sumantanga. However, about 15 years ago I settled on my "final decision" - Washington D.C. at the White House, U.S. Capitol, and Supreme Court building. Yup, I want my ashes balanced between the branches. Ain't I such a patriot!?
Since 9/11, I've been coming to terms with the fact that this wish may not be possible. I certainly don't want JD* and my kids to get tackled by government agents thinking they are sprinkling some sort of chemical weapon. If my wishes can't go as I really want, I'm just hoping for them to somehow get spread in D.C. - preferably somewhere around The Mall. Oh, JD has expressed interest in maybe keeping a portion of my ashes around the house. As long as they end up in D.C. or somehow "kept" with her after death, I promise not to haunt any of my offspring over the issue. ;)
* I KNOW JD will outlive me and I just don't want to think about what life would be like if I didn't go first.
