In Memory of and to Honor My Parents

My Father

3/25/1934 – 03/31/1970

My Mother and BFF (Best Friend Forever)

12/12/1934 – 8/24/2015

I will be taking the day to do a ritual honoring them and to spend time walking down memory lane. My dad crossed one month before my twelfth birthday.

I hope through different periods of mediation and/or naps to be able to speak with them again and maybe even find myself a sightseer at another family gathering. I did this on my dad’s birthday in a dream.

What I mean by “sightseer” is seeing my family laughing, playing and enjoying…
