Angel Day

 Last week it had been 2 years since my nephew Beck passed from this Earth and became an Angel.  Every year his family with extended family get together to do a service project at the cemetery on his Angel Day.  To try to help the boys understand the importance of this event we did our own service project in our neighborhood of picking up trash, and talked about our nephew Beck.




I was holding Lydia the whole time until the end when I put her to bed.


The boys found bamboo skewers in the kitchen to use as trash pokers.

Tagg looks like an orphan here
The boys worked hard and we filled about 3/4 of a garbage bag.  We are grateful for the times we can serve as a family...and we are grateful for our nephew Beck and all that he can still teach us, even as an Angel. 
 
In loving memory - Beck J. Rippy
