She has sailed from the safe harbor of her friends' and family's arms and on to the ocean where we stand and watch her slowly diminish until she is but a speck on the horizon and then disappears from our view heading for a destination which we are only allowed to arrive at once. She is just as real a person in our hearts and minds as when she left our sides. Her diminished size is in us, not in her, and as she slowly disappears from our sight, there are other eyes and arms that welcome her arrival with love and joy.
Wini’s ashes will be scattered at sea.
