Nonno's Service

While family were holding the official service for Nonno in the UK, we had a smaller version here in Victoria this morning. A walk through the woods and a family huddle at the beach. Glen chose sections to read out from the order of service followed in the UK. We loved the words shared by others.

This is nature.

The children shared some heart felt messages. I recalled meeting John 26 years ago when he kindly lifted Glen and I back from uni to Kendal for Christmas. He has shown nothing but love and kindness ever since.

We cried and hugged, and each placed a flower in the sea. Mac wanted his to go out further so it would be sure to be carried away.

As we turned to walk home, we saw two of the flowers choosing to float side by side.
Nonno + Nonna.
Beautiful.
