Here's my speech. First of all, I had no idea the Texas twang I had until I heard myself speak for 5 minutes. Wow! And secondly, you know I'm such a perfectionist that I just have to point out that I know that I should have said, "...things his grandkids thought WERE special" but I'm going to give myself a break here. It was my grandfather's funeral and I was up on stage speaking in front of at least a hundred people.
Thomas likes hearing this speech in the car. He loves hearing the part where I talk about him. And every time, he agrees with me that yep, he did love Grandpa's train whistle. After he listened to it a time or two, he asked me, "Mommy, why are you going like this?" and sniffed his nose a couple times. I explained that I was crying. "Why were you crying?" "Well, it was his funeral and I was sad he's not here with us anymore." "Well, his BODY'S here on Earth, right, Mommy?" "That's right Thomas." "But his soul is in Heaven with Jesus, right, Mommy?" "That's right baby."
