Wanting Memories on Memorial Day

And when I try to hear your voice above the storms of life,then I remember,all the things that I was told...

I thought that you were gone, but now I know you're with me...

I love this song.

Great Meadow in the Sky

Today we are headed to the cemetery to put flowers on the graves of my husband's mother and grandmother. While we are there I will of course be remembering my relatives back in California who are laid to rest. My father who was a WWII veteran. My grandparents on both sides, which includes my beloved paternal grandmother with whom I was especially close.

With the passing of our beloved family pet yesterday, I hope it is not too weird that for our family, today rings loud and clear with his memory. Seventeen years is a long life for a dog and he had a great life. We were very fortunate that he spent it with us. I hope his Great Gig in the Sky includes a beach with sand crabs to chase. That was a favorite sport of his and it had been a few years since he had been able to enjoy it.


Edit Note: My sister posted this about Old Man. All my digitized pics he is old, but she has him still at his favorite beach.
