We woke up this morning and went to church. It was nice to go to the classes since Jackson and I are in primary every week and don't ever get to go. After church, we ate some ribs, potato salad, and broccoli salad that were all DELICIOUS. Then we headed to go and visit a few cemeteries. The first one we went to had both my dad's, mom's and Kris's family. It's amazing how so many of us are connected in so many ways. I learned a lot about some of my ancestors. It sparked something in me to get more into family history work.
Lastly, we ended up at the Rock Point Cemetery. That is where my brother is buried. There are always so many different feelings when I go there. Both sad that he's gone and happy that I know he's okay where he is and doing so much more than I can understand right now.When I'm there, I can feel that it's only his body there, and that his spirit is free and with me I think more than I realize. I know that he is so involved in our lives even if we can't see him. Memorial Day is such a great time to be able to reflect and remember all those that have gone before.
