Memorial Day


Every year on memorial day, my mom and i get up and go to the cemetery and visit my grandma and grandpa Bowlers grave and put flowers on it. This year Nadja, Nathan, the kids, Lara and her kids all went with us. For as long as I can remember (back when I was younger and grandma and grandpa were still alive) every year on memorial day, we'd go put flowers on my great, great aunts grave? (something like that) Roam around for a while visiting friends graves visiting with the people who were there paying their respects to their loved ones. As soon as we were done, we'd go to McDonnalds. As my grandpa got older and worse (suffering from alziehmers sp??) It got more and more interesting. It was always, kids go get my purse and get out a thousand dollars so we can go get some breakfast at McDonnalds!! He would always say large amounts of money, and Grandma being completly aware would get frusterated with him. "Oh Grant!!!" She would say. She was such a funny little lady!! Always scolding us, grandpa, whoever. I have so many memories of them and miss them dearly!! Til we meet again!!
