Bean and Bestie

Blog post #460 of 365

Life and death again are heavily on my mind. This Friday my friend held her newest grandson for the very first time. He is big and beautiful and a welcome addition to their family. What baby wouldn't be right. Well Saturday her baby sister who we all called Bean attended the funeral of he most recent grandchild. He was still born just days before. Nobody gazed into his eyes or felt his soft breath and because he was early he was tiny and frail.

My bestie has posted dozens of photos of her new little grandson. Each one a testament of the love and support this little guy has in his life. Without question loved and accepted form day one.

My best posted a small hand full of photos from the services held for Bean's grandson. The tiny headstone, lovely flowers and high in a tree a bunch of balloons they let loose in his honor. The balloons playfully blowing in the wind, stuck among the branches of the tree above the tiny grave. Loved without question this little boy too has touched the lives of all around him.

May the family find healing in the love and support they show each other.
