Funerals

Just last week, Jeremiah's grandfather passed away. A very last minute decision had me joining the family on a 17 hour trek in the Buick leSabre to Minnesota to be there for the funeral.

Though I find funerals very sad, I also seem to enjoy the bonding and fellowship that is created when family comes together. Though I barely knew many of these family members, I felt immediately a part of it all. I am glad I was able to go along, support my husband and in-laws during this time. Also funerals for me, bring me back to the fact that there is meaning to this life and hope for the world to come.

These are pictures that Josh, Jeremiah and I had fun taking near the church, as well as brothers laughing & the beautiful cemetery.
