because i couldn't find a matching urn for Myst i bought 3 of a set for her and the other 2 boys. i kept the originals and have them packed away. plus they were clear glass and did freak a few people out... Each one has thier own Tarot deck that you see infront of thier urn. Drake has his own Tarot deck as well and I made his bag, its a Camo color bag. I also made Drake's bag, Crystal made Mysts' bag and Pebbles made Maige's bag.
i couldn't stand the thought of burying them and never being near thier grave again to visit so i cremated them when they passed and i keep them with me. I have a "memorial" set up for them in a curio cabinet.
i've taken part of Mysts' ashes and created a "keep sake" thing for my ex Hephaestus. I'm going to give him when we go down to drop off Drake in 2 weeks. I'm sentimental like that. i hope he appreciates it. I took a tarot card from her deck that I thought reflects Myst and put it with her ashes. Her ashes are wrapped up and sealed inside a pink packet and there is a silvery green silkish bag that I put that into along with the tarot card and black rose petals i used in her memorial. there is already a card missing, when she passed away I was using the deck and noticed that my soul/personality card was missing. I like to think she took it with her to stay close to me.
well, that's my creepiness for the day. i finally found an urn set that matches. now the trick is to be able to find one that matches when i need one for Drake. which hopefully won't be for another 50 years.....
i don't know what i'll do with Nilla and Lo-Jack. I don't even want to THINK of it. I love my babies so much even if they are animals/critters and not human.
“...So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.”--Stephen King

Yeah, I'm not so sure I could do that=)
ReplyDeleteI have the dear old dog's ashes in an urn that looks sortof like a shorter plainer brass version on Genie's bottle (from the old TV show) or a decanter.
