I joke that I am "back from the dead" but really, last month we focused on death as we celebrated the lives of two of our grandmothers.
Scott's Grandma died May 18th and mine died May 22nd. Scott's Grandma's viewings and funeral were the following Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and then my Grandma's viewing and funeral was that very Wednesday and Thursday.
Their obituaries were even on the same page, right next to each other, in the newspaper.
How very odd this has been.
The contrast of the two funerals was astounding.
But we are grateful that they are both home with their husbands and their many loved ones. We know that our spirits live on after this life. We do not doubt that we will see our loved ones again when we have finished our time with this earthly experience.
