It was Wednesday July 6, 2011 at 2:55 PM that my son Hunter drifted peacefully into what he called "The Big Sleep".
In his last hours he was surrounded in love by his nearest and dearest family and friends. Ha his wife, the love of his life, his Mom Barbra, his Sister Alex and her partner Sara, his first cousin Craig and Craig's wife Sharon, his best friend, Marvin and a dear friend Ray.
The musical strains of "Golden bowls of Compassion" (by Karma Moffett) softly enveloped us. We held his hand, smoothed his hair, kissed him and told him of our love as he gently went to a place where there is only peace.
Hunter will be cremated. Some ashes will be scattered to the wind at his (and Ha's) favorite hilltop meditation spot. The rest will be given to family members. He also asked that some should be scattered in New Hampshire where he spent his childhood summers. Ha and I will make the trip one day soon.
Amir, Hunter's 5 yr. old nephew (Alex's son) said "I will take 2 ashes and throw them in the ocean and keep some in my magic wishing box high on the shelf in my room. " He loved his Uncle Hunter.
