Our Christmas parade always lands the Sunday after Rachel's birthday.
It sticks out in my memory as part of Rachel's time here on earth because while I was in the hospital and she was in the funeral home, my sister brought my kids and her kids to the parade....
I haven't been able to get myself to go since she died.
Today we realized on the way home from church that it was the day of the parade. And I felt like I wanted to go. So we did.
It was fun, but as usual, as we gathered for a family photo, I could sense the absence of Rachel. Someone offered to take our picture all together...
She isn't in the picture, but she is. In so many ways.
