Today, Sunday, was our final leg of the trip. We went to church with Vicki and her family and left immediately after church. We headed towards Baileyton, TN again to participate in the laying of flowers on the graves. We first stopped at Wal-Mart and purchased four pretty potted flowers, two which we put on the graves, one for mom and one for me in rememberance. When we went over the hill and was able to see the grave yard, it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Flowers on just about every grave and such beautiful colors! Just to know that each flower represented love that was felt even though the person may not have even known the deceased's name. It represented so much more then just going to the graves of my Great Great Grandfather and Great Aunt, but also kind of saying Goodbye for me to my Granddad since I was unable to attend his funeral. I am so Thankful I was able to experience that with my mom as I do not think anyone else would have appreciated it more! As I squatted to take a picture, I noticed a handful of wild flowers laying at the headstone. That, in itself, meant more to me then any other pretty flowers! Just to know that someone took the time to pick these flowers, probably a child as we noticed they were on several other graves. It was beautiful.
This is "THE" stoplight in Baileyton, TN! Do you SEE the one light that blinks and the stop sign?? :-) This is just too funny and way too cute!
Our potted flowers we put on their graves. Mom and I each have one as well to be symbolic for ourselves.
See all the beautiful flowers!!! (That's Mom standing at their grave).
