Remembering Gram

Ruth spreading some of Gram's ashes...

She will be watching over us.


Looking back onto Gram's final resting place...

We spread Gram's ashes today.
There I said it, but can I be honest, I have been kinda dreading this day for weeks.  
Those of us that were able, hiked up the Linda Vista trial head to this spot to lay Gram to rest.  It was a beautiful morning to hike and Gram had picked a perfect place to be laid to rest.  She wanted to be able to watch over us...you know to help keep us all in line as she did when she was with us.
I had yet to post any of this until today (5/31/17) and I have chosen to back date this post to when it occurred to have an accurate time line for my family.
Gram was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer on March 8, 2016.  She chose to forego treatment, instead opting for home hospice.  She passed away on October 30, 2016.  She was one of the most influential people in my life and she will be missed by all of us.
