Dear Mom, I swear I took pictures today at the cemetery. We gathered to lay your ashes to rest. It’s weird but I wasn’t sad at all. I know you’re happy, free and safe. And I know we’re good, too. It was nice to have everyone there and the weather was perfect. Dad wrote a very brief, beautiful eulogy then we said the 23rd Psalm. After that Pete broke out his ukulele and we sang a couple verses of “You Are Mu Sunshine” which you always loved. It was when we sang that I got a little ready, hearing your family sing together a song you always loved to hear. I know you were there, not in the brass canister but in the sunlight, the wind in the trees and everything around us. I wish I’d got that picture but then you wouldn’t have recognized it aside from your name on it. So here’s a picture of me goofing which is better I think. I always loved to make you laugh. I miss you. Okay now I’m crying. #imissmymom #grt1934 #ripmom #ripgrt https://www.instagram.com/p/B1z7FesgLDk/?igshid=17fq9u8ciuvb8
