The Journey

This video is about The Journey through life with Mom and Dad.I lost my parents, Mom in 2012 and Dad 8 month later in 2013. Mom wanted her ashes spread over the farm that she help take care of for so many years. And on the way home from Mom services that evening Dad was holding Mom's ashes in his lap lovingly like he held Mom in his arms for 63 years. I looked over and said to Dad, I would start building a device to spread Mom ashes from the air in my Gyroplane and Dad with is soft voice said ok. A few minutes of silence went by and Dad cleared his throat and said, No… Lets wait to spread Mom’s ashes… I looked at Dad and said wait, wait for what? And Dad said (as he held Mom’s ashes tighter and looked down at her and exhaled) for me…. Dad looked at me and said when it’s my time to leave this earth and take my Journey, mix our ashes together and spread us over the farms that your mother and I took care of throughout our lives… Dad said, it's time for us to give back to the land that took care of us for so many years. Choking back the lump in my throat, I said, ok... I can do that Dad. In 2016, Phil and I made good on that promise that I made to my father that evening in 2012. I lost my oldest brother Dennis in 2014 to cancer. A couple years have past now and the healing process has begun but I don’t know if I am healing, or I am just learned how to deal with the lost. The crying is less but the void in my heart of not having my parents is always there. Spreading their ashes over the three farms that they owned throughout their lives did give me a sense of release. It did make me feel good inside fulfilling the promise I made to my Father, even though making this Journey video and writing this is tearing me up inside. This video helps me to understand the blessed, fulfilled and enriched life my parents got to experience seeing and knowing what they have started. And that does make my heart feel wonderful. Enough said. Thanks for watching and viewer that need healing, may you heal also. God Bless Doug S.
