Dashiell noticed the flag was flying when we went to the grocery store today, on Memorial Day. We talked about the meaning of the holiday, that it’s a time to remember people who have “turned into trees,” either from “doing battle” or from just getting old.
We made a special dessert today that happens to look patriotic!
(gluten free, vegan, and delicious!)
I have told the story several times when Dash thought I would be a tree when his dad is 64. I chuckle every time!
Dash asked me how old I am. Then he asked Jeff how old he would be when his dad is 64. Then I asked Jeff how old I would be when he turns 64. Very calmly and sweetly Dash said, “Grandma you will probably be a tree.”
I want to be a white Dogwood! (But not until Jeff is almost 64)
Thank you for sharing that story!
