In July my aunt passed away and today they had a get together for her. They had a lovely display of pictures depicting her life and there was a fairly large, nicely decorated bird house on the display table. Found out later that a neighbour had built my aunt the birdhouse but she thought it was too pretty to put outside so kept it on her dresser. When my cousin and uncle were contemplating which urn or container to keep my aunt's ashes in, my cousin spied the bird house so with a little reto-fit, Auntie Anne was with us at the service!!!
It was good to see my uncles and cousins again, but one of my uncles in particular wasn't looking too good and it made me wonder whose service we'd be going to next. It was one year ago today we had the celebration of life bar-b-cue for my Mom.
On a happier note, Friday we went to our friends' son's wedding. The service was a great mixture of seriousness and humour. Because both the bride and groom like soccer, the Pastor likened communication to a soccer ball being kicked back and forth verses a football...he even had them gently kick the soccer ball back and forth then the football. He then presented them with a miniature soccer ball and a miniature football so they'd always have a visual reminder!!
