Before these recordings, I used to read some of my pieces to friends…sort of like a live podcast at the dinner table. The one that follows, about us contracting with a cremation service, prompted our friends, Terry and John to do the same. They gave this cremation service as a present to each other last year for Christmas.
John died last week. Terry only needed to make one phone call and everything was handled. She was very grateful for their help. So, even though this true recounting of our experience includes a bit of snarky Mary, it turned out to be a wonderful thing for Terry. Who knew?
The only things that have been changed are the names – you guessed it – to protect the innocent.
