She, too, hovered at the end, before finding peace. <br />It was expected, but it had not crossed our minds until arrangements were being made, about what to wear. <br />It seems such a trivial thing, yet it reflects so much respect.<br />My thoughts on this didn't just apply to the kids, but to my husband as well. He doesn't usually wear ties, and is not comfortable in dress shoes. <br />But he was a casket bearer, and what I learned was, most days we dress for ourselves. But for funerals, we dress for the other person. <br />He looked his best as he carried his grandma away - the seven grandsons were quite a distinguished sight. <br /> <br />Best thoughts to you during the coming days. Wishing you love & peace in your memories and strength in your togetherness. amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770419908701070201.post-88521909771402243902013-03-13T12:39:01.615+11:002013-03-13T12:39:01.615+11:00Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.
