Team Norah has raised over $2,400 for the Ronald McDonald House via shirt sales, private donations, and a $1000 match from Thrivent Financial (so cool!)!! This is going to be the last week of shirt sales, and I’m looking for some support to get the word out. So, as a little incentive, I’m doing a giveaway over the weekend!

For our family, Father’s Day didn’t look like a Target ad; there was no barbecue on a shiny new grill, no whiskey glasses and leather chairs, no new TV and no new watch. 

Our Father’s Day celebration did include all of your Grandpas. 

It also included a trip to the cemetery. 

I picture your grandma walking with you around our property, embodying patience and grace as she watches you toddle around, stopping to explore and examine every. single. thing. 

I am a mother.

I am a daughter.

I am a mother who has lost her daughter and a daughter who has lost her mother. 

There’s no Hallmark card for this. 

Are there seasons in Heaven, Norah? Do you get to feel the heat of summer sun on your skin or be refreshed by a deep breath of crisp fall air? Do you get to make snow angels in the winter that provide a place for the first blades of springtime grass to peek through?
