My sister Carolyn died right before her 30th birthday. When her daughter, my gorgeous niece Krisstie was married to Kris, the minister Andrea, gave each close friend and relative a lavender rose that was Carolyn's favorite color of rose. After we said a prayer over our roses, Andrea collected them, and put all the petals in a basket. Then she threw the rose petals over Krisstie and Kris telling us all that in spirit Carolyn was with us today. It was a beautiful moment. It helped to ease the sadness we felt that Carolyn was not there in the flesh to see her daughter married. So today Happy Mother's Day Carolyn, to your beautiful spirit that lives on in Krisstie, whom you left with us to share our lives.
