This was the day that nobody wanted to come. Yet come it did. Ben was 2 1/2 months old. And the smiles of Joleen and Shannon disappeared as the day's events proceeded. It is important to note that "Grandpa Blood" had a great relationship with his grandchildren.
He did - it was a day of tears and smiles and empathic understanding of each other's grief. Moments to remember and think about, and be thankful for family unity and love, as well as remembering our mother and all she had meant to each of us, children and grandchildren.
Soooo many heart tugs. It is amazing to me how much time has passed. Aren't we thankful for wonderful memories that help fill the emptiness. This has been good remembering (not good English, however?!).
