Justin assured me that it was well worth the wait when we arrived at the cemetery and he rushed out of the car, running over to what use to be a blank piece of concrete, gently he ran his fingers across the front of mom’s headstone and said, “oh mom it is so beautiful”. We looked it all over and I read the words for the kids. The words on the back are from a song that was sung at mom’s service.
~ The stone is Blue Granite and even more Beautiful up close ~
If you could see me nowMy prayers have all been answered
I've finally arrived
The healing that has been delayed
Has now been realized
No one's in a hurry
There’s no schedule to keep
We’re all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet
Justin was super excited that it said “Grandma” on it and that there is a vase for flowers. I promised Justin we would get some flowers for the vase… Justin quietly sat next to mom’s headstone and softly said “Grandma I miss you, but I’ll be back tomorrow to bring you flowers”… he stood up kissed the top of her headstone and said “see you tomorrow Grandma, I love you” and started towards the car. With tears in my eyes I grabbed Makenna’s hand and headed towards the car… Justin stops - bends down – picks a dandelion - runs backs and puts it in the vase. Tomorrow we will return with some flowers and I hopefully get some better photos.
