Grief is a funny thing; you think you have a handle on it, then something jumps up and bites you.....
[I am very thankful that Dad has a camera club convention this weekend.....can't think of a better distraction for him grin]
* Dad and I discovered a few years asgo that his mother doesn't have a gravestone (his father does); it evidently got overlooked at the time of her death/burial and no one had gone back in the intervening 25 years to notice......

Yes BJ - - and this is precisely why I don't care for tombstones in graveyards. (hardly anyone goes to see them ) I Prefer friendly chatter, visits while we're living --and photo albums!and Letters and Happy memories, after!
Thank you for the pictures -- some of which bring back once more, so many happy memories!
Happy Birthday to your mum - and hugs to you as you grieve -
With Love and Hugs -
Aunt Joni
