On 7-7-24, my heart shattered when my dear dad departed from his earthly body with all 7 of his children together for the first time in 15 years.
On 7-17, we gathered with family and close loved ones to celebrate his life. We opted to do an at home green earth burial on our property (where he had lived for the past 4 years), it was incredibly special.
On J13 just one day before my 45th birthday, my husband, brothers and myself spent the day preparing the burial site and digging his grave, where we were when my mom called me with the news that President Trump had survived an assassination attempt.
Learning to carry my grief and gratitude together.
