My sweet grandma came from a family of 12 siblings.
Most of them have passed
on, like my Gram, and today I had the privilege of attending her youngest brother's
funeral. It was sweet and good and I was more emotional than I expected, being
as it has been four months, almost to the day, since my Mom's funeral.
I mentioned to my Dad, while we were waiting for the service to begin, that I felt
like he was there representing my Mom and I was there representing my Gram.
His eyes filled with tears, and mine did also, and I wished with all my heart that
we could have been attending with them, rather than in their place.
What a happy reunion they all must be experiencing in heaven. It makes me thrilled for
them. And excited for the day, in so very many years, when I get to join their family party.

That last photo is of the two remaining siblings, my great-aunts. I'm so grateful for them.
