This is it

I just picked up the urn with Marco´s ashes. It has been 4 months and a bit but somehow it feels like eternity. And on the other hand it doesn´t.

We will go to the Kjærlighetsfossen (Waterfall of Love) on Saturday to spread the ashes. It feels like that really is the final farewell. That moment marks the start of a new journey for both Marco and for Mik and me. Where he will be forever in my heart, the spreading of the ashes does feel like sort of a final closure.

Am I sad? Is it emotional? You know, it kinda feels right. Nothing can bring Marco back, so I want to feel that we are moving on. That does not mean that I will ever forget the love of my life. Not in the least because our love has given us the most beautiful son!

Saturday´s spreading of the ashes feels like it marks the start of a new period. A new journey. A journey that we thought about, talked about and made plans for. And now it is about to start.

The flag will be raised, the sun will be out, the huskies will be happily trotting along to the waterfall. And for sure I will shed a tear. Or two. No probably heaps more. Those are tears of gratitude. And love. Because I am forever grateful that I got to be with the love of my life!
