If Sunflowers mean embracing a new chapter and finding happiness in life among loyalty and love then yesterday must have proved that for me. Not only was it Papaw Freddy’s birthday, he would have been 92 years old there was another moment for our family.
Friday or sometime this past week my Uncle Jim alerted us that the gravestone was ready and installed. We hadn’t really heard much about what was going to be on the stone. I remember Dad reading the message from Jim and saying he wanted to see it. We were able to finally see and locate it last night, although we had to remember where it was first. Thankfully I remembered that both Angell graves were in front of where we were at the Cemetery service. We have talked about going to see where it was in order to remember where the gravestone would go.
Life happens we know that and have lived it. Yet sometimes the grief is still there maybe not as noticeable. I wore another pair of Aunt Carol’s sandals, yesterday because they went with the outfit I wore to a Bridal Shower. It somehow brings me comfort knowing we had such similar styles in fashion. Mom and I wanted to be with Dad when he saw the grave just as much for ourselves, but for him to not be alone.
Family… is comforting and allows natural healing to take place. Time and being busy can be pretty amazing at times.
