The fog rolled away and lifted as the sun light shone across the frozen farm land.
Mt. St. Helens was radiant above the tree line.
An early morning graveside service was just what Bama would have wanted.
And she got it.
It was perfect.
Clear.
Bright.
Beautiful.
Everything that she was.
Inside the church {her church} a few hours later, the sun light brought the stained glass to life.
Family and friends visited & ate together.
Remembering.
Celebrating a life well lived.
Encouraging one another to carry her legacy on.
And Mack ... well, he spent a good amount of time shouting praise and thanksgiving for Bama.
And I know she was smiling.
