Wear Your Spouse

I just saw a news special about this the other night - it's called a Life Jem. You get your spouse cremated and then put 8 ounces of the ashes into a special machine, which compresses it and makes a diamond-like crystal. For about six thousand bucks you could literally wear your spouse around your neck or put her in a ring...

I wonder if beautiful people make more stunning jems. Would Brad Pitt's jem be worth more than mine? Probably.

I thought I could think of something a little outside of the box to write, but I'm really at a loss. Perhaps the comments will be more entertaining. Sorry about this... maybe I should focus on content of quality over consistency of quantity.

Personally, I think a gem is a gem no matter the content of the ashes... but, considering he's Brad Pitt... it would probably be worth more... but not because of his looks.

Honestly, this would kinda freak me out.

When my grandfather died this past November, my father was given the opportunity to approach the casket at the wake one final time and my dad, the eldest, said 'he's not there...'

I thought that was incredible.

So, following in that thought process, all you have around your neck or on your ear is a gem made of ash... its not like looking at the gem, or even knowing it was made of what was left after their body was cooked down, would help you mourn the loss or honor the life of whomever died...

Hi,
I found your blog after reading your ad on craigslist. You're a pretty cool person.

Yeah, I heard about this on the news. A gem is a gem, I don't think Brad's would be any more stunning than yours though. Peace!
