Default A Timely Subject!

Wow, I was just wondering about this last night. A couple months ago, my gramma passed, and several years ago, my grampa had passed. Last night was their anniversary, and all my aunts and uncles and some of the grandchildren held a moment of silence in vigil at around 8 central time last night. It was a powerful moment and I felt them together, watching over us.

As much as they bickered, and even through a number of trial separations, they had a long marrriage and I watched my gramma tend to my grampa as he finally faded into illness. Little did I know then that I would spend her last week in a chair beside her hospice bed. I've had a hard time shaking her passing, plagued by dreams of her for awhile, and last night's moment was beautiful and healing.
