Time to Celebrate

On the 3rd of February was my in-laws wedding anniversary. Although Grandpa is gone, the celebrating of many years together continued. They have now been married for 59 years. We couldn't let Grandma think that we didn't know of her anniversary, so we went to visit and to help her celebrate. She was so cute. She said, "I didn't think any one would remember." C replied by saying, "Grandma we never forget anything!" We gave Grandma some flowers and a box of chocolates. the gifts hadn't been given for more than 30 seconds, when the box was opened and half the chocolates had been eating. The kids like to give, probably because they know that Grandma is so willing to share. We also made a visit to the cemetery. We talked about Grandpa and how glad we were that e married Grandma. After a little while M said, "Mom, how long do we have to wait until Grandpa gets here? How can he come from heaven for the wedding anyway? I can hardly wait to see him again. I just don't know how he can leave heaven to come to marry Grandma again." As you can imagine, I had a little explaining to do. M was really cute with the whole thing. As I turned around, once again I found j riding Grandpa's headstone. I'm sure Grandpa looks down and chuckles every time he does that. How grateful I am to Grandpa and Grandma Slack, and the love that they show/ed towards me and my little family.
