Musings

After an amazing funeral and a 5th Ward Reunion (Bishop Alan said it first), I have a few things to ponder on. It is funny how I always think, while sitting in funerals, about what will be said at mine. I am hoping that the Butterfly tile made sense to them all. If not, I really made it as therapy for me anyway.

First off, I am not fantastical like Miss Gae, so there were many things that just didn't apply to me.

Second, it was awesome to hear her kids talk about how much they fought. Yelling at my boys a few minutes ago because they were beating up on each other.... It all turns out okay in the end I

guess

Third-How often to we really write actual notes now days? All the kids had numerous letters that their mother had written them. I need to do that more often.

Fourth-Family Motto. I have thought of this a few times in the past. Bryon says we already have one. No Whining! I think we need to get a bit more perspective.

Fifth-Intense Personalities. My kids have them. That is the reason they are so hard to deal with at times. Such strong spirits trying to figure out how life works. A bit more understanding might be in order. Thanks for that Adam.

Sixth-People actually read this! I ran into so many old and constant friends who were well aware of what was going on in Buchmillerville because of this blog. Stalk Away my friends, Stalk Away.

All of the kids were able to see the amount of people in the chapel while giving tribute to their mom, but the most priceless of all was Blake's expression while following the casket afterwards. He looked genuinely surprised that so many people were there.

Yes Blake. We all showed up because we love Miss Gae.

Thanks for being amazing.
