In Memory

I didn't go to the Hooper Cemetery on Saturday because I know Larry always likes to go and leave his sister some flowers.  We decided to go today and do that.  I love the Hooper Cemetery because I could walk around and have a little party of memories.  There are so many people here that have touched my life.  I love how decorated the cemeteries are at this time of year.  It makes my heart smile.  We went back up to Mountain Green and left a Brick at Dave's.  Since we were up there we decided to stop by and see if Vicky was home.  She was and she took time to sit and visit with us for a while.  I could visit with Vicky all day.  She is such a wonderful friend and person.  We sure miss Dave but we know that he is watching out for us.  He might have even thrown a pillow at Larry the other night.  Larry was sitting at our table doing bills.  I have a curio cabinet in the corner with a vase of dried roses, a pillow and a wood sign on top of it.  The pillow is more than 3/4 on the cabinet with the wood sign in front of it and for some reason the pillow "fell" off  towards Larry.  We laughed and knew that we had a visitor.  Larry right away thought of Dave.  There is no way the pillow would have just fell off.  It's been on the shelf for over 10 years and actually leans towards the wall.  It should have made the sign fall off if it would have fallen forward but the sign didn't move. Ironically, the pillow said: "Friends are like Angels.  You don't have to see them to know they are there."  I'm glad we have angels watching over us.  I'm so thankful for all our friends and loved ones...living and gone.  I'm also so thankful for our memories.
