Remembering
Mon 09 Jan 2012 Filed in: My Life | Grief Notes
Today was a day for remembering. It’s been four years since Joan passed away, four years since she met the Savior face to face. It was a much calmer day today than it was then. We stopped briefly by the cemetery and went up to the Calcutta Grill, one of her favorite restaurants, for a “Joan memorial” lunch, and it was fun. In spite of the clouds, the view was great, in spite of the occasion, the mood was upbeat, and the food was great, too. Suzanne brought along a Joan album, and we leafed through it, looking at pictures, smiling at memories, telling a few “Joan stories,” and thanking God for her.
Remembering is a good thing. Building memories is important. I’m thankful today for the priceless memories I have -- and for the memories yet to be built.
