Dear Diary:

My sister and I were tending plants at her Manhattan community garden when a woman approached and asked whether the ashes of her recently deceased father might be spread in the garden.

Before my sister had a chance to reply, the woman, clearly exasperated, handed over a rumpled paper bag, saying: “Here, please take this. His name was Abe, and I’ve had more than enough of him.”

With that, she was gone.
