Seasons

Yesterday we buried my dad.  He died in October and it took us this long to get things arranged for his cremains.  I am glad our family had that closure.  Although I watched him leave his body and know he was at rest long before now.

Mav spoke and one of the things he said was "it is like we are packing away an old suit for a friend who has gone on a trip and doesn't need it anymore."  Mav is really cool.

The picture of my daughter and her cousin Oliver walking across the cemetery brought to mind this picture taken of them almost 4 years ago at my brother's wedding.

 I am comforted to know they have each other because the truth is there will be more weddings and funerals in our lives.  I hope Oliver will be there for her with the same love and support his dad has given me through out this process

    I just found your blog and was compeled to leave you a note on this post. I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you can make sense of it all. I think since I became a Mom I do realize that we can pass on so much to the next generation. So, I hope you can treasure the moments, treasures and words of wisdom from your Dad and pass them onto your little one's. Then I think it all comes full circle. Stay strong.
    xo,
    Christina

    Thank you Christina.
    We were very fortunate that my dad got to spend a lot of time with my three oldest children. I'm pretty sure he was my oldest' best friend.
