I decided I needed to do something special for Jay's birthday. After consulting Deloris, I decided a trip to the beach was in order. I really would have preferred to go to the Outer Banks for this first birthday without him, but that's a long drive for a weekend. As it was, I asked off work for his actual birthday. Luckily, it was a Friday. I decided to go to Carolina Beach, since that was our second go-to for beach time. I also decided to spread some of his ashes there. This would be the first spreading of any of his ashes that I'd done.
I arrived to find that my room had been all paid for by my sister Tammy, and then found some lovely flowers in my room from her as well.
I proceeded to light some candles on a donut for Jay's birthday. He would have been 53.
I got up before the sun the next morning, camped out on the beach, and spread his ashes as the sun rose.
