Crying… and laughing at the same time.

It’s fallen to me to gather old photos of my husband’s late sister for her celebration of life.

Her daughter is still having a hard time…so the get together will be small, informal, and at her home. I’m going to set up a table of remembrance with flowers, this plaque…

A guest book where people can share memories…

A flameless candle…

And a large digital frame filled with pictures that will play continuously like a slideshow.

It’s been bittersweet collecting and uploading the photographs.

Life.

It’s fleeting…

.

And over far too soon.

I shed quite a few tears looking at the 160 pictures I’ve pulled together, but every once in a while I’d smile. Like when I found this old family portrait proof of my husband and his 8 brother and sisters. (Hint- he’s the one in uniform. Top left.)

And sometimes I even laughed.

That’s my husband, standing behind his late sister on the right. The couple with them had just gotten married and I think he was the best man.

I may have to print one of these for framing.
