Today is the 20th anniversary of my mom’s passing.

Her wish was always to have her ashes spread among the bear grass along the Carthew-Alderson Trail in @watertonlakesnationalpark . So when I was only 12 years old, my family made the 19km hike, and I watched as my dad did as she wished.

3 years ago, I gifted myself with a tattoo of a stalk of bear grass to remind me of her.
It had been about 5 years since I last hiked the Carthew and 4 years ago, much of Waterton was burned by wildfires, including parts of the trail. When I returned this summer to carry my dad’s ashes over the mountain one last time, the hike looked very different.

The section of the mountain that was typically covered in bear grass, was almost bare. As we hiked through the area where mom’s ashes had been spread, I noticed a single stalk of bear grass, all alone, right next to the trail.
I felt as though it were a sign from my mom, that she was with me, with us. I felt comforted, like my mom was letting me know that everything was as it should be.

More often than not, this day is an emotional one for me, but even after this incredibly difficult year, I can’t help but feel that I am right where I belong. I left my burdens on the top of that mountain and hiked into the rest of my life feeling a little lighter.

I truly believe that everything in my life, no matter how difficult, has lead me to where I am meant to be, and I know that I am meant to take what I have learned and use it help others. That's my purpose, and it is the greatest gift my parents have given me.

Thanks Mom and Dad
I love you ... See MoreSee Less
