usatodaysports: In death, Jessica Ghawi is where she always wanted to be — everywhere. All these years later, the little girl who grew up reading Oh, the Places You’ll Go! is scattered throughout the world. She’s in Peru. Mexico. France. Greece. Spain. Nova Scotia. Vancouver. Denver. San Antonio. Even Ann Arbor, Mich., at the Big House. Anytime a friend travels to a place Ghawi loved or would have liked to have gone, Sandy Phillips puts some of her daughter’s ashes in a baggie, puts the baggie in a drawstring bag and puts the bag in a white box. She ties a turquoise ribbon around the box and then adds a mustache sticker to it, a nod to Ghawi’s charity efforts for Movember and the organization’s facial-hair theme. It’s an attempt to make the process a little lighthearted; usually, that’s not possible. Not when the box contains your daughter’s ashes. — Nicole Auerbach, USA TODAY Sports Read the Rest: Remembering sportswriter a year after Aurora shooting An important piece, a year after the Aurora shooting. -- source link
