On Sunday after church we thought it would be a good opportunity to visit
Nan and
Pop's grave with the boys. Harri kept saying that Pop wasn't in there as he couldn't see his coffin when Nan was buried. Jay was very reflective and reverent.
Unlike Kobe who had no clue where we were and ran around like a chook. I'm sure Nan and Pop would've loved that he was having fun near them.
We also went to see Daniel's grave and although we have talked to the boys about it a lot, Harri all of a sudden clicked and said 'your BROTHER is in there?!'. It's like he just heard it for the first time. He probably understands what it means now, since going to Nan and Pop's funerals this year.
It's still hard to believe that Nan and Pop aren't actually here anymore. Chrish and I were saying last week that we thought they would always be around.

Beautiful pictures. What happened to Daniel? So raw for me still...especially to see freshly dug graves. I'm sorry you guys are missing Nan and Pop. Thank goodness for the knowledge that families are forever.
ReplyDeleteOh what tender pictures. Thinking of you as you miss your parents and brother...
