It's kind of a morbid topic. Especially as a phone call.
*ring ring*
me: " Hello?"
HW: "Hi, so I told you that I'm putting Dad down to recieve my remains, right?"
me: "um, no, but okay."
HW: "You know, that way you won't have to deal with it. He would just have to sign for my body."
me: "So , they what? Send... (mind searching for term to use) them to Colorado or here?"
HW: "probably here since that's where my unit is, but they (Dad) would come down....."
me: "Does he know about it?"
HW: "I think I told him, but I'll call him tonight"
me: "So, does he know what do do with them?"
HW: " Yeah, he was a 1SG. He knows what to do."
me: "I mean where you want to be buried...."
HW: "hey, I got to go. Talk to you later."
The life of an Army wife never fails to strike a note of the strange into everyday life.
