Jeff and I once again visited the cemetery
to decorate the gravesite of
my Mom, Dad and sister.
As the years move on the cemetery has become to feel more like a place of comfort.
Decorating feels like a sweet way to remember and honor their lives.
Christmas time at the cemetery feels like a community.
Grief and loss can feel lonely sometimes
Being around other people
celebrating the lives of those they've lost and loved
can be a comfort.
This year the the decorating rules were abruptly changed
so there was an opportunity to talk to other people
who were also shocked at the change as they were attempting
to decorate their family graves.
We met the most interesting woman and got to know all about her family
and share some stone cleaning tips.
My take away from our visit this year
just how much we all have in common
and
you can find Silver Linings every where.
As always my friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
