A Memorial with the Kids

It has been a lovely day. A LOADED day. A very peaceful day of celebrating a life lived. Funerals are hard in general, and doing them with kids is an added challenge, but I really couldn’t have been more proud of my kids. As the ONLY children at the burial site, they stood calmly and respectfully through the entire thing, and politely chatted with family members as aunts and uncles came to meet them. They did SO WELL. 

Everyone who put into this memorial weekend made it SO beautiful and SO nostalgic, and in my opinion, so unbelievably honouring. I truly think it would’ve been enjoyed by anyone who came through the door, including the beautiful individual who passed away 💜 

The day has come to a close, and I think our entire group here is feeling that fatigue good and proper! Hopefully there is more rest to come tomorrow. 

But first, we sleep!!! Goodnight, all 💜
