After Erika's nap and some soup for lunch, we all went to the cemetery to visit Oma and Opa. I should have been there on Tuesday because that was Opa's two years anniversary in heaven. But I had 100 excuses as to why I didn't go Tuesday. Anyway, we went today and it felt good to go.
I guess Erika has been there often enough with me because she seemed to know what to do right away. She knew the flowers go in that vase and that we leave them there for Opa. She knows who Opa is because peter is always showing her pictures of him. On the way to the cemetery she kept say "ho, ho?" And then we would tell her "Opa" and she would say it correctly. It was really cute.
Erika helped arrange the flowers and put the water into the vase. Then we all talked with Opa. Erika adds a whole different feeling to the cemetery than I used to have when I would just go solo. It's a good feeling but I can't exactly explain it.
She was very into smelling the flowers. And wanted to make sure that she smelled EACH rose individually. Every time I am there I feel sad that Opa didn't get to meet Erika. Just three months after he passed away, she was born. I just know Oma and Opa would have loved her!
And a cute video
