The church that meets there will always be near and dear to my heart. My parents have been divorced since I was very little. So, while Kelly and I were growing up, we would spend every other weekend in Cullman with our Mom. On Sundays, our Mom allowed us to go to church with our grandparents at Chances Cross Roads. Many of the members there were great aunts and uncles, cousins, and our great grandparents were members there, too. They taught us many important lessons in Bible classes there and Kelly and I were both baptized there as teenagers. I will always cherish those years that I got to spend with my Chances Cross Roads Family and the years I spent with my grandparents and other family members in Cullman.
We placed some new flowers on Neanie's and Papa's tombstone. The flowers turned out really pretty.
Since Neanie loved hummingbirds so much, I added this little hummingbird windchime to the flower arrangement.
The wind was blowing pretty hard that day, so I got to hear some pretty music while I sat there thinking about how much I missed my Neanie and Papa.
We also placed a flag near Papa's military memorial stone. If he could see it, I think it would make him smile.
Oh, how I wish I could hear Papa tell me another one of his "Nip, Tuck, and Pearl" stories or tell me one of his funny jokes. I wish I could hear Neanie read another Bible Story to me and tuck me in at night. I'd give anything just to be able to hug them and tell them that I love them. But, I know they are with God and they are together again. That gives me great comfort. "Till we meet again!"
