Tonight was Grandma’s viewing. A few hundred people gathered to celebrate her life and give their well-wishes to her family. It was a great time tonight at Bethany Wesleyan here in Cheryville, PA.
For most of the night, a group of cousins gathered together in a make-shift circle of chairs and shared stories together and found out what each other was up to in the last few years that we hadn’t seen one another. It was a great time – and I’m sure Grandma would’ve been pleased with the relationship-building her family was doing during tonight’s viewing.
Remarkably, I heard one phrase over and over again as people would come up to our “circle” and see our beautiful daughter, Ella being held by either Jess or I – or even one of the many other Ella-holders tonight. The phrase was, “There’s that beautiful girl I’ve seen on the internet!”
Apparently Ella has way more admirers than she ever knew! :) Kind of makes a daddy proud to know that his work to share his family with the web is well worth it!
