Today we put Nanny and Grandad in the 'Waitakere View' wall at Waikumete Cemetery. In the pouring rain - probably Grandad's final punishment to Uncle Paul. They have a lovely view, on a non-rainy day and it's so quiet there.
According to Mum, you can purchase your plot/hole in the wall and you have 60 years to use it. How far out is appropriate to plan your final resting place? When you get incurable cancer you are encouraged to get all the 'practicalities' done as soon as possible, before your "inevitable" deterioration. I haven't planned anything, I refuse to die anytime soon and planning anything feels almost like I am inviting death to strike me down where I stand.
When Amanda died, I remember Debbie saying how it was an absolute headache to get all the loose ends tied up, but what 26 year old has a will? I'm 36 now and still don't have a will - for what it's worth Bradley Nash, you get it all. You get Santine, my dogs, my house and all my cool stuff - enjoy!
