This was
the first August Picnic without Ma. But, in many ways Ma was
there looking over and caring for us.
Pa had
told folks that the Picnic for 2008 would be a memorial for Ma.
He planned to say or have said a few words in her memory.
He could not bring himself to say such, nor did he find the
courage to ask some one else. He did however, prepare a spot
for her, outside at the picnic. As he was placing the table
for the urn, it was raining a tad. Thus, he found an unbella
to cover the table.
Larry asked if he could carry Ma's urn outside. Thus, he did with great pride. He later relayed that evening, "You know what, it was raining when I came out of the house, but as soon as I placed Ma - the Sun came out, and we have had a great time. |
