Today we said goodbye to Aunt Ginny, who passed away just before Christmas. Her memorial service was today.
Lily was a very well behaved little girl during the service, but did something really sweet that we wanted to share.
At the end of the service, when everyone was paying their respects at Ginny's urn and saying a prayer, Lily walked up and said the prayer she made up, that she says after our nightly prayers at bedtime.
She whispered to the urn, "Princess, Princess, Princess, Princess, Princess."
Ginny would have loved that.
Also, at the breakfast following the service, Ginny's daughter Laura did a really touching thing too. Ginny was an avid reader, and Laura & her new husband Patrick had bookmarks printed for everyone, with a quote from C.S. Lewis ~~ "We read to know we are not alone."
Very touching day...
