the cemetery is the oldest one in Colorado Springs, and the older graves have trellises over the tombstones that have roses growing on them...one of my grandma's favorite flowers. As I was talking with some friends, we saw a giant butterfly land on a rose near by...my grandma would've loved it.

This day has been one that I have thought about since I was a little girl. I was always very aware of my grandma's pain...and longed for her to be released. Now she is. I imagine her skipping through heaven, eating cobbler and key lime pie and smiling wider and freer than she ever did here on earth. And that thought makes me smile.

What a lovely picture to have of your grandma now. I'm glad you can celebrate the fact that she is free of pain at last. Love the idea of releasing the balloons, like a symbol of her being set free. Our prayers are with your family.
