Goodbyes......................

Last night was a night of good byes. Weird how they seem to collide together sometimes. Weirder still the type of good bye.. Two TOTALLY different ones.....
My siblings and I said our final good byes to our little sister last night as she is heading out for her final destination... Mt Ballyhoo in Unalaska Dutch Harbor .

I will say the place does get into your bones and I understand why she chose it as her final resting place. Iam more then a little angry that I will not be there to "Drop Kick her ass" over the side of the Mt. But reality is iam not so there ya have it. It seems very fitting that Chuck will be the one who is with her in the end. She was the one who was most with her in life.
I know somewhat morbid but I made them take this picture. Its the last picture of all of us together and to be honest i am not sure its not the only picture of all of us together. Ive also decided that Chuck and I need to write a book called Laughing even in Death. Seriously if I didn't laugh or make light of some of the things that have come up in the last month id have lost my damn mind! Humor is how i deal with things..... well that and Vodka.

So with that being said Notice that Alexe is in her Traveling case. Since she is Traveling to Dutch Harbor with my parents on the Ferry we had to transfer her into something my dad could carry and still operate his cane. This is what they give you when you have someone cremated. Its like a cheesy brown Glad container. Ya know whats also weird they put a label like sticker on it with the picture you use in the obit. Seems so tacky to me. But the "condo" we picked out for her was just not travel worthy as you can see.

When I first moved this I was like" Damn Alexe your heavy. Iam NOT calling you fat." I said that out loud like she could hear me. The weight if it just surprised me!! Just one of those things your never think about.
What does all this have to do with saying good bye ?? NOTHING!! Iam rambling... Ive been writing this for two days and searching in my mind for a way to end this post. So I think I will just say safe Travels Mom and Dad...... Chuck when you get there KNOW Iam with you in my heart. You have been a ROCK and the voice of reason this whole time. I wish that i could be there for you on Saturday. I love you.........
Big Al ...... may you now be at peace and happy in your favorite place.... Be FREE baby sister Be FREE........................
