What i did on monday

AquaPython · 12-10-2008, 10:24 PM

I am going to be serious for a moment. Some of you know , but most don't know that i was not at work on monday.

Instead, I took the day off with Hagit, My brother Jeff, and two other guys that knew my father (clients), and we took a ride down to Key Biscane, to commit my father's ashes to the Neptune Memorial Reef Project. It's basically an artificial reef 3 miles off shore , in 40 feet of water. It was designed to look like Atlantis might have looked, and hold the ashes of loved ones in various statues and pillars. if you want to learn more about it, visit www.Nmreef.com

It took awhile to get the permitting in place, then it was a matter of when we were ready to let go.

The seas were a little rough and the viz could have been a bit better, but i cleaned up the photos and made a little slide show remix with fitting music. I think it came out uplifting, but yet bittersweet at the same time.

for all of the pics you can check them here.

Great job Mikey, that was very touching.

Amazing Mikey! I've actually been out there before and its such a wonderful place for what it was intended for.

I thought about that for my mom but we will be taking her to where she wanted in June when the ground thaws out enough in Wisconsin.

You really did a wonderful job and a wonderful tribute.

That's just beatiful... an amazing tribute, and I'm sure you've made him very proud.
