It was a beautiful day in July and we had received a "baby" Colorado blue spruce after Mom/Grandma's funeral. Thanks Julia and Bill! We had another tree that wasn't making it... so we decided to replace it with this new one, in memory of Mom/Grandma. It was a precious site to see Ryan so wanting to help. He has not gone one day since April without talking about Grandma Donna. It's sometimes hard to see him have to process, what we as adults, are trying to still process, too. We've got lots of "reminders" of her that are wonderful to have, however, it's still tough to know we won't ever see her again on this side of Heaven.
Here's a pondering face, huh?
We were in Michigan over Labor Day trying to help a little as it was time to move and clean out Grandma's condo. We thought we should try to help some, as we hadn't been back since April. It was much harder on Ryan than we anticipated. He sobbed on the way to her condo, saying he hated that place because Grandma wasn't there anymore! Pretty intense emotions... yet we are thankful he was able to get some of those out. He hasn't shed one tear in the past 5 months...until that day. Grief is an interesting process... especially when walking through it with a little one, huh?
We miss you LOTS Mom and Grandma!
