It almost made me want to marry a military man.
To see the honor that was done for my Grandfather, as he was buried today, for serving his country.
The flag that draped his coffin, neatly folded.
And then, a (cute) young solider, solemnly knelt in front of my grandmother and present the flag to her, saying words that immediately had everyone in the audience in tears for how sincere he spoke them. A gun salute went off, a bomber plane flew nearby over head.
It was...beautiful.
A perfect moment, made even more perfect with the sun coming out from behind the clouds just as the ceremony ended.
As if to say.
All is well.
That doesn't mean that more tears won't be shed in the coming days.
But over all, there is that feeling.
All is well.
My Grandfather is in a better place.
And while we won't be able to see his most recent photographs from his last trip,
Or eat of his wonderfully seasoned hamburgers,
or just sit out on the porch and enjoying the view.
He will continue to be found through his family.
He's not there in person.
But he's definitely around.
Miss you Grandfather. Y_Y
Until you next read these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
