Closing his final chapter with love.

Bare with me, this might be a long confusing post.

I was notified the end of December that my Biological parent had passed.

I was also told his family wasn't planning on doing any sort of service.

I did not push for anything further because the truth is my entire life never included him- his choice and I never lacked for a dad.

6 weeks after his death I received a call from the county informing me he was never claimed. Naturally, I am now taking the appropriate steps to lay him to rest.

I have made several calls to get everything in order and have met with the funeral home.

Financially I am struggling and for the first time in my life asking if anybody would be willing to donate.

He has more than one child and I'm doing my absolute best to include their wishes.

My heart hurts that he has laid in a cooler with nobody to close his book of life.

Our wish is to finalize his chapter to include a re-bloom urn so he can blossom every year as a sober spirit. We would like to do an honorary obituary to bring light to the battle of addiction in his name. We would like to give him a final resting spot. We'd also like to give the opportunity to his family and friends to have a window of time to grieve and remember him between his years with addiction. (Time and place will be publicly presented just as soon as it's planned)

After we close his final chapter there is one last wish I was asked to grant. Any left over funds will be used to make it happen. His middle child wants nothing more than to legally be my son (he has been in my care since 2018). I have made the promise that he and I will go to the courthouse and start the process as soon as we get through final arrangements.

I know our situation is unique and probably hard to understand. But my heart hurts for the situation and I will do anything to bring peace and comfort to he and everyone that knew him. Everyone deserves respect in their final moments.

If you are unable able to donate; a simple share to help reach others is just as much appreciated.
