I recently started work at a funeral home/cemetary. I drive in every day and say "good morning" to everyone and wish them a good day It's stirred up something inside -- I'm not sure what yet -- but the other day -- while doing a contract -- I noticed one couple that had been laid to rest back in the early 1970's -- and I stopped and wondered if anyone remembered they were there. Did they have family that visited every once in awhile or did their children tell their children that they had grandparents or great grandparents at rest here. It made me think of my son -- and what will I "do" with him when his father and I pass on -- but, for now -- I still want him home with us

But, Micki -- I think your plan of allowing Tim to be "free" to ride the wind is a very unselfish and loving thing to do and I agree that you should keep a part of him for you -- as I'm sure he felt more love and freedom with YOU than anywhere else
