Updating Address Book

Today I was trying to enter my Grandma's new address at LuRee's Legacy so I can find it easily when I send her notes. But I got all upset when I had to delete "Grandpa" off the listing on Belmont Drive. I should have just made a whole new contact card.

I went to his funeral and everything, but I've been in complete denial that he's actually passed on. I only see him once maybe twice a year anyway. I guess I keep figuring that I'll just see him next visit. I don't plan on visiting the Spirit World anytime soon. I worry about my Grandma. I worry about my Dad who always looked to his father for advice. It's kind of surreal.

Here's the slideshow I put together of our day to Honor Grandpa:

  1. Jennifer,
    I don't know any member of your family, but I felt inclined to look at your slideshow. I have been moved to tears by your photographs. The music was equally beautiful as well (what music is that?). I appreciate you sharing such a special, sacred occasion on your blog. You've helped me feel the spirit of eternal families and how grateful I am for my own. Thank you. You have such a gift of photography.

  2. Thank you. There was no way I could sit still. It's proof to me that I'm a photographer in my heart. Song #1 - Grace by David Tolk. Song #2 - Gracie's Theme by Paul Cardall. Song #3 Sort of (Instrumental) by Ingrid Michaelson and I never listened to the version with lyrics so I never had any text connected with the melody.

  3. I feel the same way, Jennifer. I have to keep reminding myself that he's gone and that everything has changed. I'd rather live in denial, but it would catch up to me eventually, right? I miss him. Last night before bed, I was happy to be able to pull out my notepad and write yet another memory of my incredible Grandpa O. Thank you again for capturing such a special day! Love you!

  4. It is always hard to lose someone you love! We send you love, hugs, and prayers. This is Linda Fisher in case it doesn't say. Take Care!
