A special memorial day experience

8.18.07 Grandma O'BryantLast August my dear grandmother passed away, so on Memorial day I wanted to visit her grave.  When she actually died, I was too emotional to talk about it with my kids so today was the first real experience I had to tell them about my grandmother and her death.  Charlotte didn’t say much, but Isaac was full of questions.  I told him stories about her one-eyed dog, Mitsey and about drinking root beer floats and watching movies.  He asked me questions about her and about death and resurrection in  general.  I wish I could have recorded every word because we had some very special touching moments and I felt good to be able to share my love of my grandmother with him.  He wants to make a flag to put in front of our house today that says “Grandma O’Bryant” because then everyone who sees it will know that we are remembering her today.
