Texarkana

Pop's (Deona's godfather) memorial service was Thursday in Texarkana; it was beautiful. He would have been proud; especially of his daughter Jackie, who shared wonderful stories of him.

Deona, Everett and I stayed through Saturday afternoon with aunt Jackie and cousin Courtney at Joy and Pop's house.Jackie really appreciated the visit. We spent the time laughing, reminiscing, looking through picture albums, snuggling Everett, eating lots of cake, all while taking care of necessary business.

Though the circumstances were sorrowful, it was really nice to reconnect. We're looking forward to seeing them again soon.
