Today would have been my mother's 76th birthday. She dearly loved the beach, the ocean, and when we were up at the Cape, I gathered pebbles and wrote her name on an unsullied stretch of smoothly packed sand. I imagine that it pleased her.
We have the spot on Assateague Island beach where we left some of Nanay's ashes.When we'd visit, I'd leave a seashell, the way you leave a stone on the headstone if you're Jewish. Hurricanes and nor'easters have moved the sand around a lot though, so we're no longer sure where the spot is...
Happy Birthday, Moky.
