Ever since we lost Dali last April, she's been sitting on the bookshelf waiting. We didn't make it home last summer as I'd hoped, but this summer is a go for sure. This trip, Sammie Cat and I will be bringing Dali home to stay. My heart seizes up just thinking about it.
I've been reading up on what we ALL need for International Travel one more time. Most of it I know, but traveling with crematory remains is a first. Evidently, one of the most important things is that the remains be contained in something that is x-rayable . We have our cremation certificate...check. I've spokent to the crematorium a couple of times about containers. On this last call, they suggested a velvet pouch. I looked on line. There were lots to pick from at a very reasonable price. One even said: "We'll Meet at the Rainbow Bridge". Dali and I will be meeting in the Lot. That's for sure.
Remembering that I had some velvet, I thought that maybe I could make the pouch myself. Instead, I called Stew. Having Dali's travel container made by our friend just seems like the right thing to do. I loaded Dali up in the basket of my bike over the weekend and took her over to see my guys. Stew and I sat at the table and talked about what I wanted. He said he'd line it for me too...we both cried. I miss Dali. Even though Stew and Eric have our wonderful lovey Louie boy, we still miss Bruno too. Dali is going to have a very special velvet bag, made with love and memories. Sammie cat and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Thanks Kat. It just made me think-she's coming back to St. Louis with us first. I'm just a tearful girl these days. Love you-Moi
