<human>: She's not so old, like late seventies, and she's considering moving into a retirement community sort of thing in a few years. I love her like a mother - she helped raise me after my family broke up, and she did a bang-up job. She taught me how to read, and to appreciate countless forms of art. I feel really grateful for her influence on my development, and very deeply connected to her. I'm a witch, and I think that having a part of her when she's gone would be an immense comfort and a well of strength. Since it is her vision and intellect that most inspire me, I would like to ask her if I can have her skull after she has passed away. The problems are... it sounds creepy as fuck, and my dad is Orthodox Christian, so he believes that her remains must be kept intact for her to rise again when Jesus returns. She's a rational person, but respects his wishes. How can I make my case without being officially licensed as the family freakshow?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I want to ask her for her skull as a reliquary. My dad expects her to follow his religion's rules regarding human remains.
