I try to take the kids to the graveyard at least every quarter to walk around and talk about family history or just life and death. It is important for them to know.
We first go to the store and they get to pick one thing to put out.
Clairana picked flowers, Nephi picked the large spin wheel, Coraline picked the small pink spinwheel, and Cabella picked the frog garden stake.
It is also amazing how comfortable they have become there.
Reading over the sites, praying for them, saying hello to others that are grieving...
They never met my Grandpa Wallace (my mom's dad) or my Aunt Charlotte but they do recognize that their Oma is buried here and each time I try to tell a story about all of them.
