ashes again

My sister's ashes are here now, delivered this afternoon by a courier guy.  The man with the too-kind eyes sorted it all out so I wouldn't have to go back a second time to retrieve them.  They arrived in a cardboard shipping box, with bubble wrap.  I removed those, and stopped unwrapping there.  Inside, there is another plastic bag that says "Evidence" on it, and a cloth bag inside that with a sticker on it that says "Human Remains" and "Ashes".  And I can feel the wooden (I think) box inside that.  I will let J decide if she wants to open it further.  For me, that's as close as I would like to be with what is left of my sister.  I prefer my memories (because I can edit them).
