I had the honor of spreading my dad's ashes

On his favorite spot to visit on his favorite lake. It was both an honor, and simultaneously weird and humbling.

Update.
I didn't cry at the service. Guess I was putting on a brave face. But while spreading his ashes in the lake, barefoot with my pant legs rolled up, smelling his ashes as I spread them in the waves. The tears rolled.

I am so truly sorry for your Great loss. I have buried many loved ones. Each time it takes a piece of me. I have never had the privilege or honor of spreading someone's ashes in a special place. I would imagine it's not an easy thing to do. How strong you are.... I know there are no words you could read here that would Ease your Hurt, So instead I hope all of the great Memories, the love, the laughter Keep your heart full.
