We attended Grandpa May's funeral on July 6th. It was a wonderful service. Matt gave a beautiful tribute to his grandpa {and didn't even cry too much!}. I was very proud of him. He and his grandpa were close, and it was a hard day. Kensie, Luke, Lincoln, Liesel, Andrew, and Liz sang "Faith", Uncle Mark spoke, and Rich, Marla, Curt and I sang "Nearer, My God, To Thee".
After the services we travelled to Grantsville for the burial. I am so grateful for the blessing of eternal families, and the knowledge I have that we will see Grandpa again.
I think that Jackson has already seen Grandpa a few times. The day after he died, as we were driving home from Grandma May's, Jackson said {out of the blue} "There's Grandpa May right there" and pointed upward. I told him that Grandpa May was in heaven, but he insisted "No! Grandpa May's right there".
He did it again on our way home from Grantsville on the 4th of July, this time pointing at the train tracks next to the road. I have no doubt that his innocent little eyes were able to see what we could not. What a joy!

Natalie, I am just catching up on your blog. I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Grandpa May. He sounds like he was a wonderful man! I am sure he is missed. And how amazing that Jackson saw him- I really believe that the veil is so thin and the pureness of children can see things we cannot.
