LOL! <BR/><BR/>I am attending a "Tour" at the Pastor's House, of my 'new' Church, on Sunday Night. I might ask him, what he thinks? But I suspect, I will believe, what "I" believe! <BR/><BR/>I also wonder about 'who' will be waiting there for You?

My Daddy died one year ago Nov. 6th. And yet, I find comfort that it is both a death and life date: death to life as we know it here on earth yet the beginning of their eternal life. That brings me great comfort.<BR/><BR/>I too imagine a great family and friend reunion in heaven. I have a close girlfriend and our mothers were close friendsarutherfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02014533367121225603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956282559750487168.post-59912431965124261572007-11-07T19:28:00.000-06:002007-11-07T19:28:00.000-06:00Flinty!

But honestly, Terry, I think our remembering is because we care so much. My grandmother (the only grandparent I knew) died 4/14/72; she's been gone 35 years. My ex-mother-in-law (had cancer and I was her caregiver) died 11/17/89; she's gone eighteen years. My dad died 3/21/98; he'll be gone 10 years in March. <BR/>Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722780868620942044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956282559750487168.post-41367249357280460712007-11-07T13:38:00.000-06:002007-11-07T13:38:00.000-06:00Thanks everyone for your comments.

He used to ask me if that was Heaven, as he was confused because we told him that Grandpa was in Heaven and then we went to “visit Grandpa” so we must be in Heaven, visiting him! We have had to explain that we go there to remember Grandpa. <BR/><BR/>Funny Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956282559750487168.post-48291970075776244522007-11-07T09:38:00.000-06:002007-11-07T09:38:00.000-06:00You remember.

I've always planted flowers at my grandparents' graves, too. But since my dad died, I stopped. I simply didn't have the time. I'll probably go back to it in the spring.<BR/><BR/>I'm touched when someone remembers a date as important as a passing. ~Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16022026685666792412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956282559750487168.post-45822874951623267942007-11-07T00:43:00.000-06:002007-11-07T00:43:00.000-06:00I too had to laugh at the bathroom comment.I don't...I too had to laugh at the bathroom comment.<BR/><BR/>I don't go to cemeteries. My dad died in 1978 and I saw his headstone for the first time when we buried my mom in 2004. I know my mom used to go a couple times a year with a bucket and cleaning supplies to clean the headstone.<BR/><BR/>It's just not a place I like to go but I do remember the dates.
