Flowers for Cedie

Today Dylan and I went to church (Chris was on a 4 wheeler ride). This was the first Sunday that I was brave enough to return. It was even harder than I imagined. You see, we had Cedie's funeral service in our church's sanctuary. Every time I looked to the stage this morning, I could only picture the way it was that day. I can still see her in her beutiful dress, lying in her tiny coffin. My church was very supportive of my tears and many stopped to give me hugs and words of encouragement.

After church, Dylan and I went to lunch with Meemaw and Peepaw. Dylan made sure mom only had things to laugh at and nothing to be sad about. He's great at that!

Dylan and I had been talking about taking flowers to the cemetary and I needed to see if her headstone was there yet anyway. So, we decided to go after lunch. We got her some pretty (silk) pink and red baby roses. We also got her a little heart shaped Valentine's Day balloon. At the site, they had an orange cone set up. Her stone is not there yet. We used the cone as a flower/balloon holder and we tied purple ribbon around it. We sat down by it for a little while. Dylan told her all about his party and bowling. It was really sweet.

We met back up with Chris and had our usual Sunday night dinner at Nana's and G-daddy's. We all watched the Grammy's.
