A Good Memorial Day!

The rain wasn't going to dampen our ventures on Memorial Day. We got up nice and early and met the family for breakfast then headed up to the cemetery to see our Grandparents and of course Jonas. Whit and I had gone up everyday this weekend to drop off flowers each time for him. Nick, Chris, and the girls met us up their one night... my parents came with us one night... and then we had the whole gang today. It felt great to have so many people come and visit Jonas, Thank you guys!!! 
I love things that little ones say and there were a couple things that I wanted to write down so I wouldn't forget...
Max (my nephew who hasn't seen Maggie in person since Jonas' funeral, with all seriousness in his voice): Whoa..she looks just like Jonas
Gracie (my cousin's little girl)says to me: Do you remember Jonas?
Me: yes I do
Gracie: He died and is in heaven now, huh.
Me: yep, you're right
Gracie: But you still have Maggie (said with a reassuring concern, as if telling me things are ok)

You are so right Gracie and that is why I am ok. Still miss him, but I have another little angel that keeps me ok.

I agree with Max! Maggie has her big brother's features in her own feminine way!!

Love these pictures! I thought about you guys all day on Memorial Day, and I thought of my darling Jonas! Maggie does look just like him. I have no doubt he is very close to her always.

Love you - Ash Richards
