Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day to all who come in here and read our blogs! It has truly been a magical Memorial Day Weekend. Not just for the fact that we get to miss school for three days, but also for the reason of actually paying respect to all of our deceased family members.

I went to put flowers on gravestones yesterday, seeing that I was at my grandma's and she lives next to all the cemeteries where all our dead family members are.

We first put flowers on Maya, who was a little baby girl born by my aunt. She died when she was only a couple months old. Bless her soul, she was the most beautiful baby in the world.

My grandma's mother's tombstone was right next to Maya's, so we put flowers on hers too. I wish I could have met her, she seemed like a very sweet woman. My grandma said that once you walked in her house you HAD to be fed. And she pickled everything.

Next, my aunt, Jennifer, her daughter, Emma, and her boyfriend went to put flowers on other gravestones. I don't know which ones because I got in the car with my grandma and drove with her to the exit.

We then went to a different cemetery, where my grandma's grandfather was buried, and I believe also her father...I'm not sure. But, anyway, her grandfather was the mayor of that town, so his gravestone was highly appreciated. It was nice to spend a day with my family, and get to do what I did. It was a great honor, and I wish that I had done it years earlier, when I was just excited for the missed day of school, and I didn't do anything for Memorial Day. That was my mistake.

Bobby went with. I forgot to mention that.

I don't know what Zek did for Memorial Day, but I will definately get in touch, so he can tell me what he did, then I'll update this post telling what he did word for word.

Thanks!
