October 23, 2022
On October 22, 2022 12 years after you passed away I finally laid your ashes to rest. When you first died I slept with the urn for two weeks. Then it was moved to the side table next to my bed. From there it went to the dresser. At some point it was moved into your old room which is now my home office.
I decided that it was time to let it go. A symbol of you growing up and out. You have been gone from this life for a long time. I chose to have your ashes interred at the Steelmantown Cemetery in Woodbine, NJ. Its a green burial ground. The cemetery is Circa 1700. It is full of trees. Not only your ashes but your cousin Paige and your Aunt Leslie also passed and their ashes were included. We planted a six foot flowering dogwood tree to memorialize all of you.
You always wanted the marginalized included and this seems so fitting that you would have these lovely souls with you. It was your heart to reach out to people who struggled and just make them feel wanted. In this life you all struggled and it was a tough place to exist for you. When I think of you, Aunt Leslie and Paige now I think of 'upward and onward'.
I am thankful for the strength to do this and look forward to visiting your memory and have faith that you all have been growing in the Lords love and light since passing.
Your Mom will always love you and will never ever forget you Mikey.
