about those we have loved and lost
is that they would wish us to remember them
with a more intensified realization of their reality . . .
The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude."

Anderson cousins at Fred's Funeral today.
Annette, thank you so much for the pictures and the the flowers at the cemetary. It was so wonderful to see the cousins today, and the funeral was a a great tribute to Fred.
ReplyDeleteThanks Annette for the words and photos. I wish we could have been there. Thanks for your labor of love. It was very moving.
ReplyDeleteOh, Annette, I had forgotten you had lost babies. But I do remember when you got Natalie you smiled and someone--a relative, maybe?--said it had been a long time since he'd seen you smile--or something like that. Bless you for having such hard trials and getting through them and missing those babies and loving them.
