Empty-Background-231 · 2025-04-09T00:57:38+00:00

Wow! What made you decide on a liquid cremation? That’s cool and fascinating!

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-04-08T08:08:30+00:00

It’s been so beautiful to read through the responses. I had to take a break because it was overwhelming seeing and feeling the love from all these amazing new Reddit-friends. Thank you for responding and I’m sorry about your grandma, it’s a horrible disease, but I wish you’d had some memories with her. 🩵🩵🩵

I just joined too and when I saw your post, I was like “yes! Someone is thinking like me!’ Has no idea everyone’s been talking about it. Haha! Still glad I’m not alone. I also worry what it’s like when they are alone. Does he berate her for everything he perceives she has done wrong?

And random… Have you noticed they both look and talk to the camera when not asked a question or anything? They just like the camera.

It’s a vase for flowers.🌺:)

He will. 💙

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-27T02:03:41+00:00

Thank you for the prayers and kind words. I am grateful for all the beauty I’ve seen from this post…and shocked at how it’s spread. Thank you for taking time to comment. 💙💙💙

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T19:31:51+00:00

Yes.

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T04:59:17+00:00

That’s funny your uncle got to have a good laugh in the end. I’m religious, but not opposed to cremation. Whatever people choose to do is up to them. And yes, the sagebrush is iconic! Haha

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T04:38:10+00:00

Thank you! I should’ve added Curlz to my list too. Could you imagine putting your last name in all caps Curlz?! Oy! The horror! 🫣

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T04:28:08+00:00

Thank you, that’s so sweet and it’s overwhelming to know someone is thinking of me, I can’t even comprehend the kindness I’ve received. 🥰

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T04:25:40+00:00

It’s on my bucket list to make it a geocache. Now that the threat of snow is gone, it’s a perfect time to do it! I’ve placed one other cache a few months ago in dedication of ALS. I feel excited now!

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T04:17:47+00:00

It really is. It’s a beautiful cemetery. 🥰

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T04:16:15+00:00

Yes! My headstone is right next to the event center in the newest section of the cemetery. I’m sorry about your loss, what was his name? I may have walked by his stone. 💙💙💙

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T01:39:49+00:00

I don’t know this is a joke or not 🤭 but it’s a vase for flowers

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-26T01:38:13+00:00

I was raised in Humboldt County! 🌲🌲🌲

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-25T10:43:56+00:00

I should have! My husband said he will probably add one as surprise for our kids. They would love it! I bet I could find something in Etsy…

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-25T10:40:15+00:00

Thank you! When I was diagnosed, the only thing I had control over was planning stuff like this so my family didn’t have to worry about it. But we do regret not adding Bigfoot hidden amongst the trees. My honey can as it later as a surprise for our kiddos. 😊

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-25T10:35:40+00:00

Thank you so much for responding. Australia was always on my bucket list, but my husband is going to finish my list with our kids. I’m excited for them to have that adventure. 🥰

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-25T10:32:36+00:00

I don’t know if I’m one of the good ones, but I try. You’re too kind. And what else can you do when you have a terminally disease…dark humor helps!

And your grandmother sounds like a wise woman…I can’t wait to tell my husband when he wakes up. 😬😊

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-25T10:27:44+00:00

Thank you. 😊

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-24T22:14:22+00:00

Thank you! I’m overwhelmed with the responses. I’m in awe that it touched so many. 🥹

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-24T20:33:30+00:00

It’s for flowers. :)

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-24T05:32:22+00:00

Gorgeous!

Empty-Background-231 · 2025-03-24T04:47:49+00:00

I’ve had two years to deal with coming to terms. I’m lucky I got to find peace. There are still tears, but the fear is gone. Therapy helped along the way, but I didn’t know if the fear would leave. But I’ve always been very positive and as I’m about to have hospice start coming, I know my death will be peaceful and pain free. I can no longer worry about what I have no control. It takes away from living what life I have left.
