Hope you all are well. My trip to the states for the funeral of my grandmother was bitter sweet. I still deeply regret that I did not get the chance to see her in person one last time before she passed away but going to where she lived and being around family and her old friends gave a very soothing, peaceful kind of closure. I am including in this post a few old family pictures of her.

A beautiful tribute. I am sorry for your loss, Juniper. I lost my grandmother a few years ago, she was 100. There is nothing like a grandmother.

Welcome home! Your Gram was lovely! And yes I love those hats, trying to envision all those bridemaids in color on a nice sunny day makes me think of a wedding Jane Austen would write about.
ReplyDeletewhat gorgeous fotos - especially the last one -- it almost has a pre-raphaelite feeling to it.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry you didn't have a chance to visit with your grandmother one more time, but it's good you were able to return home to pay tribute to her memory and be with family. that is healing in itself.
