In a heartwarming gesture, a UK woman honoured her late mother’s wish to travel by placing her ashes in a glass bottle with a note saying, “This is my mum. Throw her back in – she’s travelling the world.”
Cara Melia, 24, from Oldham, UK, released the bottle carrying her mother Wendy Chadwick’s ashes into the sea at Skegness Beach. Chadwick was a single parent of five children, and her hectic schedule did not allow her to travel before her death in February at the age of 51, according to BBC.
The glass bottle was put in the sea at Skegness to “see where she ends up”. After the bottle was found on the same beach 12 hours later, a Facebook post about it went viral.
“Can everyone please share this far and wide in hope it finds Cara from Oldham!! We found this lovely lady earlier today at Butlins, Skegness beach. She’s been thrown back in the sea as requested.. happy travels Cara’s Mum,” wrote Kelly Sheridan on Facebook.
Speaking to BBCMelia said she hoped it would travel further this time. “Life happened and my mum never got a chance to travel. Nobody was meant to find her for a bit – she was meant to be in a completely different country,” she said.
“I’d love her to end up on a beach in Barbados or Spain, which would definitely take a while,” she added, revealing that her mother had died due to a heart condition.
Melia said she thanked the woman who found the bottle, who told her it was an honour to have done so. “I wasn’t expecting it to go viral and to touch as many people as it has,” she added.
