Dear Family,
Today I drove by Dad’s grave and stopped by for a visit.
I needed to thank him for being one of our angels helping make things happen faster than the speed of light.
Of course, as part of family tradition, I had to leave some food (even though he can’t eat it.)
He wasn’t there at the grave as I was talking with him, but he was hearing me. However, as I was walking to the car I felt
a great sense of joy, his big smile, and heard his hearty laugh in response to seeing the gift I left him… I laughed out loud too!
Some shredded zucchini that I used as an ice pack for my lunch that day! (see picture)
And the other half of the bag of zucchini I left on Uncle Kerry’s grave that is right next to Dad’s.
I told both of them that I look forward to when our families can all sit down together and partake of a meal together…with no empty chairs… and no burnt food! 🙂 (Inside joke with Uncle Kerry, who burnt Lynette’s birthday cake on her 13th birthday.)
The gospel is true!
Bringing families together not just through temple work, but through emotional work, is something that I strongly feel is part of the Lord’s work that we are to help accomplish here on earth.
May this picture bring a smile to your face and hopefully you can remember Dad’s hearty laugh as well…
With Much love,
LaReita
