gingin's blog: Another Hurdle AKA...Bill's Big Bang

Posted on Jun 23, 2013 4:20 PM

<p>Well it's a bit over the half way mark to a year since Bill died...71/2 months. For those of you familier with my sense of humor, you know it may seem a bit "odd" or "fractured", but I chalk it up to always looking for the silver lining in the cloud. That being said...my friend Jackie forewarded a cartoon to me that she had received. Three creepy looking guys are in an office. One is sitting at the desk talking on the phone. In the "talkie balloon" it says, "I realize we all grieve in our own way,Ma'am, but the creamatorium staff did not appreciate the fireworks you put in your late husbands pockets." LOL Which brings us to Bill's Big Bang :-))) Yesterday, June22,2013, I invited a few friends over for food, libation and farewells. I printed out the cartoon and taped a picture of Bill under it...wrote when the picture was taken (May 2012), his birth date and date of death. Also RIP...out with a bang :-)). Some of his ashes went to Pa., Mass., and south Fl. Some are saved for when Alex gets out..he has plans. Bill's friend, Richard also wanted some. Now Richard deceided he was going to shoot some out of a small cannon! We wandered out back to the makeshift shooting range to spread the remaining ashes since Bill's favorite thing to talk about was guns.</p>
<p>Richard was leary of "firing" him off there because it"s been so dry. Back to the yard near a hose (just in case) he set up. Now he didn't bring the cannon, but instead a tube like the pros use to set off fireworks. He brought 4 loads of ashes etc. 3 were set off then...fire from the fuse, smoke, whoosh and bang,bang,bang...Bill was launched to much cheering and whoohoos. The fourth and largest load was saved until it got darker. And as twilight settled in, fire, smoke, woosh,bang,bang and the sky was lit up with a multi colored starburst. Bill would have so enjoyed his Big Bang...it was totally right up his alley. We all had fun...or should I say a blast?!? Smiles all around. RIP Bill..you have been launched.</p>
