Yesterday, we said goodbye to Thad's grandpa, "Poppy." He was a wonderful man and grandfather to Thad and I. He accepted me as part of the family from Day 1, and always made me feel welcome and accepted. At the burial services, Siena picked dandelions and placed them on the coffin. Thad's mother gave each woman at the funeral a rose to remember Poppy by. Siena also gave her rose to Poppy and placed it on her coffin. Even after I explained she could keep it, she said she just wanted to give it to Poppy. So sweet! She also visited the grave of another little child and sang to the headstone. It was a really sweet experience. It was awesome, they did a 21 gun salute, since Poppy had served in the military. Then they presented the flag to Thad's mom. What comfort the gospel brings us, to know that we will see him and be together again one day! Goodbye Poppy, we love you!
