Memorial Day

This year we celebrated memorial day on sunday at my Grandma Riggs' house. We all went out there for a BBQ and then we went over to my grandpa's headstone. This is the first memorial day that i have actually known the relative that was under the headstone and it was actually kind of hard for me. I got a Email the other day and i would like to share it

 As i read this special email this year All i could think of was my GRANDPA! rest in peace, your never forgotten..... I loved this email (thanks ginger for sending it to me)
