Death

 This week we showed up at the cemetery dressed differently. 🙄 Normally, we show up right after church, but today we didn't go to Church.  It was the Primary program and they weren't participating.  Instead we went straight to you dressed like this. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I expect Joshua will be in costume for the next month.

Joshua took the flowers I brought for you and did this saying:

"Look mom!  I'm going to be Dad" 😂😂

I mean, it was the perfect set up!  🤣

Later in the afternoon Jennica and I drove to the Salt Lake City Cemetery.  I had never been there before and this new part of me likes spending time in graveyards.  I wanted to find our Tanner relatives.  I instantly appreciated the small location you(we) are in.  That cemetery is HUGE and packed!   

A few weeks ago Joshua noticed a new grave nearby you.  He went over and examined it.  I heard him say:

"Welcome to the graveyard." 

Then pointing over to us said: "This is my dad Sam." 🥰

He is so stinking sweet.  I later whispered my apologies to everyone buried  6ft under for the "fun" we bring to the area each Sunday.  Jadon picks up flags, and flowers, from who knows where, and climbs and jumps off headstones.  I try my best to restore things.  I told them (the dead people) if they have any complaints to bring them to you. 😂. Your headstone is delayed so your name isn't out there yet.

Today in the new Pres. Nelson passed away (last night) and there was an LDS Church shooting this morning. 😢. Death is so complex.  I'm sad on so many levels today.  I can't help but envy Pres. Nelson.  He is with his Denzel again.🥰  They live 20+ years apart, didn't they? 😖 If I could pick a "Job" in Heaven, I'd pick to be at the veil for welcome duty.  I'd love to watch people reunite.  What will that look like for us?

I told Brittney Nelson that my reaction to seeing you again won't be anything of the reverent sort. The thought of us again puts a smile on my face.  I'll see you again. Until then, stay close!😘
