The only time I've been to my Daddy's gravesite since his funeral 23 years ago was when we put Mama beside him this summer. I know where he is, and it ain't under that stone.

SSQ and I haven't discussed what we'd do if either of us died up here in the frozen north, or where we'd want to be buried. I guess it's something we don't really want to discuss; it'll come up in it's own time.

Sorry for the morbid conversation. It's just something I thought about when you mentioned your friend's funeral.

Agreed. And I know it's a weird obsession to have. I'd have to admit that I'm sure part of it is just the fact that I lost my Dad way too soon. I was 20. He was only 49.

As much as I've "dealt" with it, I've never gotten over it.

And don't worry about the morbid conversation. Death is a part of life and a reality we all have to face. Talking about it ahead of time may help us better prepare for the next time we're faced with it.
