grief

On a hot summer day in 1994, Courtney Love lands at New York's Kennedy Airport after an overseas flight from Europe. On her back is a knapsack which resembles a teddy bear. As she goes through customs, an officer asks to inspect the knapsack. She removes it from her shoulder and hands it over. As he unzips the cursiously shaped travel bag, a puff of ashes flies up towards the airport's ventilation system. 'What's that?' asks the customs official. 'Thats my husband' comes the reply.
