A dear friend of ours passed away a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend her funeral.
In preparation for our grandchildren coming to stay with us for a few days we brought out toys and playthings, including a play tent.
The morning of our friend’s funeral our grandchildren asked to play with the tent, so we set it up for them and they were happily playing in it. And then our son asked, “Didn’t Rosella make that tent?”
Why, yes, she did!
I’m so glad he thought of that. How special that our grandkids were enjoying the same tent that dear Rosella gave to our own boys when they were young… and now happen to be playing in it the morning of her funeral. I think she was smiling from heaven.
Rest in Peace, Dear Rosella. You were very special to our family.
That is so special. I think you are right that she would get so much delight seeing your grandchildren playing in the tent she made. We will all miss her.
Indeed.
Wonderful to have that connection, your children and now grandchildren enveloped in the beauty of care and friendship.
It is special to have the continuing connection. Friendships are treasures.
What a wonderful keepsake!
Yes, it is a great keepsake.
Once again, life’s seredipities are a delight. I am sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories.
Thanks Sue.
What a wonderful discovery on the day of her funeral! She was still with you, in your grand kids playtime. Who were are and the love we gave lives on in ways we will never know.
P.S. Those kids look so darned sweet!!
I am sorry for your loss of your dear friend. What a treasure to have this tent, an ongoing memory of Rosella.
Thanks Audrey.

What beautiful kiddos and what a great moment to realize who gifted you with that on a day when you were already thinking of her!
Thanks Starr.
