Thinking about this day brings to mind those members of my family that have passed on..
I will visit the cemetery this weekend to clean the area, bring flowers and spend quiet time in remembrance of my loved ones that have gone on before me.
I will carry on a conversation while I am there. Funny how we can have conversations with folks who are only with us in Spirit. A wonderful time to reflect on our love for all of our family.
I will enjoy the visit and I will leave with joy in my heart.
Sometime during my visit I will recall the words of this wonderful song. When the music and words begin to flow through my mind's eye, I will let myself pray and speak words to my maker in some unknown language. Listen here.
God Bless you and your families.
