Elena's brother Eric died last January, and over the summer Eric's family and friends gathered at least a couple of times to scatter his ashes in places that had been important to him. We missed the trip to the top of
Mount Katahdin, but during our vacation week we did a pretty amazing burial at sea at
Reid State Park. It was such the perfect day at the beach in Maine - late July, cool and drizzly, and foggy as all get-out.
Friends and family spoke on his behalf, messages were written in the sand for the tide to take away a few hours later, and then his ashes were taken out into the surf via sea kayak in the most dramatic fashion.
