sitting on my porch and thinking and sneezing

I'm sitting outside on my porch, sneezing my head off (allergic to April and May). While I'm listening to these birds that  sound like cell phones, the rest of western NC is visiting Wilkesboro's MerleFest - the largest blugrass festival east of the Mississippi. If you look closely enough, you can spot several pieces of poster board. While my brother was taking aerial photos, friends on the ground were spelling out his son's name with the board. We lost Cameron in December, and it's been so so hard. But right now, I'm thankful, thankful, thankful. Spring is beautiful, people are having a blast in the gorgeous NC foothills, and friends care about my family enough to make sure my brother knows Cameron lives on in so many memories. Thank you, Lord, for memories and friends and spring.

Coming soon - the story of an ill-fated mall visit in which I felt as if I was in a foreign country....

Linking up with Patty's Photo Blog Hop and Sunday Share at Moments of Whismy.

  1. Oh Kendal, what a bitter-sweet moment for your brother, but how wonderful that as you said, his son lives on in the memories of so many others.

    Thanks so much for sharing something so precious.
