National Leon Day celebrates the halfway point to Christmas. Leon is Noel spelled backwards and it is officially six more months till Santa comes down chimneys all over the world.
The memorial service this afternoon was beautiful and absolutely perfect. It was in a very old white-framed Episcopalian church and after the service we all walked into the garden where the priest sprinkled Justin's ashes all over the plants. It was wonderful! Afterwards we went to a reception at a friend's house and then to dinner at Suzan and Mike's for the out of town guests. We shared stories and laughed until we cried. Suzan and Mike will feel the pain for the rest of their lives, but I'm happy I was able to share in their grief as well as giving them a little respite from their sadness.
