It's Decoration Day!!

We spend the day today doing what we enjoy the most... lunch at my Nanny's followed by some front porch sitting with our favorites!! 

Check out Little Man's lunch... a hamburger bun. He has NEVER liked bread... won't even try it. I have tried to feed it to him, let him feed himself, nothing, nada. As Nanny's was finishing the lunch, he grunted and whined until she gave him a hamburger bun, and he was completely content... pinching off little bites and destroying that bun. 

And to all those who are cringing that a mom would let their 1 year old eat bread for lunch, check out the oranges beside it.. he ate those too. :)

After we ate, and sat and chit-chatted awhile, we loaded up and headed out to the cemetery to see the flowers. This is a foot stone on my uncle's grave that no one could bear read, in fear of shedding tears again this year.

It reads:

"When I come to the end of the day and the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little but not too

long and not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love we once shared- miss me but let me go

For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone

It's all a part of the maker's plan, a step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to the friends we

know and  bury your sorrows in doing good deeds-

miss me but let me go."
