Today has been on our minds for the last little while. It's hard to believe it's been a year, although I can't quite decide if it's hard to believe it's been only a year or if it's hard to believe it's been a year already.
We kept today pretty low-key. Tuesdays are normally pretty busy around our home - it seems to be the day that everything happens, like band, piano lessons, voice lessons, youth group, quizzing, bible study - but today we skipped out on most of those activities. We had pancakes for breakfast. We watched some Star Wars movies. We packed a picnic supper and went out to Kol's grave. We wrote messages to Kol on helium balloons and let them fly. We came back home, played some Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, and watched some Star Trek. And we cried.
Thank you all for your support over this past year.

ReplyDeleteThinking of you this week as our family also relives the events of a year ago. Today marks the date of Howard's funeral. I also visited the cemetery on the day of his passing - planted red wave petunias on his grave and put up a garden flag with the words "Love Lives On". Hugs to all of you.
ReplyDeleteWas thinking and praying for all you guys yesterday. Glad that you were low-key though. Still praying...
