Don’t want to forget

Writing this blog allows me to remember details from my mother’s funeral I know I would forget. I don’t want to forget the memories: my high school friends who surprised me by attending, my sister-in-law’s friends and family, neighbors from my parents’ former neighborhood, church members from Lafayette, church members from First Cutlerville CRC, and wonderful stories shared by my cousins. But most of all, I want to remember standing by my father and holding his hand tightly while singing, “It is Well with My Soul”. I don’t want to forget it, ever.
