DAVID OSMOND-DANNY BOY ON MEMORIAL DAY

i look out my window...
the flag is posted and waving.
i reflect on the purpose of this day 
away from work.

REMEMBERING.
a day to remember
those that have lived great
and have moved beyond their earthly home.

in a years time,
stephen garff marriott

and
maxine rice garff
are on my list of thoughtfulness.

this was the day
MEMORIAL DAY
that i would meet grandma garff
at wasatch lawns
to place flowers on grandpa's headstone.
now she joins him
and as much as i wanted to honor her
and reminisce...
* i just wasn't quite ready.

rick golfed with friends
noah went to seven peaks
and i cleaned
cleaned 
like a madwoman
and there is still more to do

later we celebrated
and 
barbecued.
grandma and grandpa
joined
and we
REMEMBERED

mom and dad,
with great efforts and persistance on their part
made sure that grandma garff's headstone
was there on wasatch lawns
for this day of
REMEMBERING

*on may 28, 2014,
on the return trip from heber city,
i stopped and had a moment
 kisses to my grandma garff
a moment for grandpa royal
and grandma marba,
another to breathe in the beauty of the surroundings...
expressions of love 
and hopes for forgiveness
to
teva
