My packet came yesterday. If and when the need should arise, I am a member of Return Assured, so that if I am more than 100 miles from my legal residency at the time of my passing, they will assure that my body is returned to Ft. Lincoln Cemetery so that I may wait in rest with my son. I didn't realize that it is based on your legal residence, but rather understood that they would assure my body's return to Ft. Lincoln. Period. Hmm. So, I guess I will have to figure that out. But the point is, just in case everyone doesn't already know, I am to be laid to rest beside my sweet boy, when the time comes.
I know. Nobody wants to have to think about that kind of thing. Like I didn't want to have to call DDA and let them know that Sekai could not update his DDA waiting list information, nor is it necessary to keep him on the list at this point. That sounds all legal and technical, but really what I said, in between pushing down tears, was that he passed away, and um, can you please stop sending him mail. The woman quickly transferred me to someone else.

ReplyDeletePoint of clarification: I thought they would ensure the return of my body to Ft. Lincoln from wherever I happen to be at the time.
