A trip to Canada

I had 3 wonderful weeks in Canada. My last trip there was 15 years ago. I promise myself to be there more often. A big part of my family is there and now, my mother's ashes are resting there.
This was the goal of the trip: a ceremony with all my family to disperse my mother's ashes in the river St.Laurent.
August the 19th, we gathered all together beside the river in Rimouski, just in front of the summer chalet of my grandma.
Most of the family was there with us: my father, my brother, and I.
The ceremony was simple, as my mother would have liked it. My ... Marcelle, my father and I said some words to remember her. Then, my father and my brother dispersed the ashes in the river.
She will always be in my heart.
