The Grief Doesn't Stop But the Love for Life Continues

Too much is going on for words to be adequate. So much sorrow and loss.  No memorial for grandma doesn't feel right but that's what she said she wanted and the words were taken literally.

She was so upset about losing her grandson. "Why didn't I go first?," was what I think she said. It didn't seem fair. Here she was ready to go and her grandson was in the prime of his life and has this terrible accident. Of course, we make the best plans but we can't predict the winds, mother nature and what will come down. 

My grandma's birthday is Monday, May 31st and Ned's 40th birthday will be on Sunday, June 7th, even though he didn't make it there. Both days we'll do something special that they would have appreciated. We'll do it for ourselves and we'll also do it for them. So, depending on what you believe, all bases will be covered.
