Back to his Beloved.

Today, we had the viewing to say our final goodbye

to our Beloved dad, grampa, pops. He was always a

dapper dresser & today he was outfitted to the 9's!

A beautiful suit, complete with his favorite tie &

his smart hat, perched just right on his head. He

looked so peaceful but I did keep wishing he'd

just wake up. But true to his stubborn streak, he

didn't grant my wish. We spent time sharing our

memories & then headed home. Tomorrow, he'll

be cremated & we'll bring him his urn to keep here

until we have a family celebration later in the year.

We now have both mom's wedding ring & his band.

When we take dad back to the forest to bury his urn

beside mom, his final wish to be with his Beloved will

be granted. Together they walked this Earth for over

40 years. And now they'll be together again, in their

Heaven and I'm sure creating mischief wherever

they trek. Keeps us laughing & feeling comforted

knowing they'll be arm in arm again, after almost 10

years apart. Two loves, scheming & dreaming!!
