I don't know if this is okay to put here

72. I've told every one of my friends and family

that I want a natural burial. No big expensive casket... just one that will degrade quickly so that my essence can replenish the Earth. Afterwards, I want everyone to gather around a tree with bottles and bottles of mead and pour a little onto the ground for me.

That's really expensive I've discovered, tho... and not many cemeteries will allow natural burials yet. Since we'll no doubt be hurting for money when I die (we spent ours on his and my mom), told Hubby and a close friend to bury me in the National Cemetery. It would be nice if they could put me close to my parents (and thus have two family generations of soldiers/vets next to each other)... but it's free. I told hubby I'm going before he goes, cause I can't even think about doing this for him. I don't know what I'll do if that happens. Someone will have to take over for me; we've been life/soul mates for so many decades... and part of a cadre that finds each other life after life after lifetime.
