I also had a mom who was a handful. Plus she had dementia the last few years of life. You are such a great writer. You m as ke me laugh, grieve , and ponder every time.
I couldn't ask for more than making you laugh, grieve and ponder. Tomorrow, I'm tackling the post office. Gulp. Hope she doesn't somehow get me in trouble. Thanks and here's to handful moms.
I used to work in international philatelic mail order business-- we had very rare fragile items. Our insurance policy required that all international shipments go either by registered mail (preferred) or express mail (faster so less chances for bad stuff). With registered mail, every person who handles the item has to sign for it and must be postmarked on every seal. While I stood there at PO waiting for them to process loads of registered packages, I learned from worker that all cremated ashes were usually mailed via registered mail for this reason. Hugs-- going through similar stage behind you. My mom died in Jan and funeral this weekend.
Oh I'm so sorry you are going through this too. They (USPS) have a special rate and packaging thing. I'm told it's much less expensive than letting the mortuary send it.

Jan,

Hi Pam, Not everyone gets a mom that bakes apple pie. My mom was as unique as anybody else. Thanks for reading! ~Linda
