Papa's Headstone

Papa's headstone was finally put in and we went to see it today.

I thought it was going to make me super sad when I saw it but it didn't.

Dale and I have felt his presence since he has passed which has been a huge comfort to us. I feel like whenever I tell him that I love him and I miss him, he can hear me. That's why visiting his gravestone didn't feel like I was visiting Papa. He is not in the cemetery, he is a spirit and can dwell with his family and loved ones.

Still, it was a special moment and we felt it was important for the kids to see it.

He has such a nice headstone:

Building Blocks

Every morning Gunner gets out his blocks and stacks them up, knocks them down, lines them up, whatever he can think of.

I love watching him play and this morning I was struck with the fact that things like this won't last forever which prompted me to capture it.

I love this boy.
