“Mom hated obits saying, ‘So and so died peacefully in her sleep.’ â€
“Aunt Jane was a hoot! I loved when she changed her name insisting we call her Morningstar.â€
The cousins laughed, huddling together in the unheated Customs shack. The crematorium prepared them for the border crossing. Taking Morningstar’s ashes from Alaska to Washington was as simple as showing proper credentials.
NOT!
Morningstar fought death valiantly. Now guards were saying one piece of paper was missing. They couldn’t cross.
Instead, the cousins shook Morningstar into the wind laughing as she settled across two countries.
She would have liked that.
