The Flower Rounds

Each Memorial Day Weekend we make what has come to be known as the "flower rounds." We generally go on Sunday after church because the crowds are smaller thus giving us more time to reflect at each stop. It is a great tradition for us and yesterday was no exception. It was especially meaningful as a second generation joined us on our travels. We love this opportunity to remember and honor those who have been an important part of our earthly life but who have left this life for a greater one. We miss them but are greater for having been touched by them.

The picture of your husband cleaning the gravestone is so moving. What a special tradition.

Looks like your day was as gratifying as ours was. It's such a blessing to have friends who share similar stories, thoughts, feelings and most especially...beliefs. Love, Julie
