aftermath/afterlife......
ok, so i have mixed feelings about the notion that her parents will not know the exact location of her ashes....as to avoid the media circus and the protestors and the hangers-on that surrounded her death........i understand what is meant by this, having visited pere lachaise in paris.....to find jim morrison's grave...because i had heard that all these years later people still left him beer cans and joints......curiously true...........and i have visited the vietnam memorial, where people still stand and wail when they find the name of a loved one.......yeah.......a husband who wanted to avoid such a death for his for-better-or-worse spouse would not want that for her eternity.......heck, i really wouldn't want to have gawkers coming to see what is left of me......, or people doing that exxagerated prayer business, with the outstretched arms and the singsong cadence to their voices...........i would roll over in my grave....if my cremated remains could manage such a feat.......let the woman find her peace with God..........in the privacy that she is said to have wanted in life.........and let this cloud pass over the rest of us............
