Not only did I never consider my dad passing...

But what's weighing on my mind is that my mom decided to have him cremated. I asked her weeks ago while he was in hospice to see what he might wish for, but she didn't. And she said they'd never talked about it prior.
I understand many do it now more than ever , but it's just sad his body is truly not here. I get that even if buried, the body after many, many years will decompose anyway. But, it's just so final it seems, thinking of cremation. I have a few pictures of him in the hospital, before hospice, and one video during hospice..I'll treasure it always, to SEE my dad.😞💛
