Memorial Day began with the Bountiful "Temple View" hike. I'm really not quite sure what it is called, but the reason we love this hike, is so that we can sit on top of the mountain with a beautiful view of the Bountiful Temple.
When we returned from our hike, Lizzy worked hard to complete our family flower arrangement for the grave. She had gathered pictures, and printed out messages for Steve. We miss him so much! Today is a big reminder of our loss.
Late that morning, we met Steve's family at the graves. This is the first time we have all gathered together on Memorial Day at his grave. It was very nice to have the support. We talked and shared stories about Steve. My heart broke when someone asked Ben to share a story and he said he didn't have one. He doesn't remember his Dad. He was just a little guy, when Steve passed. I think he enjoyed hearing stories about his Dad though. I want him to hear stories about his wonderful Father, so that he can know him in some way.
We also visited Steve's Grandparents graves, and some other relatives.
We spent the evening at a wonderful barbecue with Steve's siblings at his parents. We are blessed to be surrounded by family.
