Blue Balloons



A dozen at church this morning - a fair to middling crowd for the times, it seems......

When the service ended I looked regretfully at the coffee and goodies and hastened out the door, late for a Celebration of Life in the gardens at the Grist Mill.....


Two hours spent amongst old friends, memories and the family of the dear departed, most dear to me, and death was a friend who granted her release......

As it grew time to leave a piper played Amazing Grace, 



- blue balloons were distributed amongst those who lingered,  and gently they let go and watched them float skyward

It was a lovely moment.

Oh how lovely. A fitting end to a celebration of life.
