A month or so ago I thought that 100,000 hits on the blog would be a good number to get to. This week we passed that number and some people have encouraged us to keep the stories coming so we’ll try. -:)
In a Pixar movie called Ratatouille which Matt (and all of us) loves, one of the characters called Linguine, says that his Mum has died and someone else is awkward about how to respond. Linguine is pretty casual and comfortable and replies, “Oh no. Oh, she’s OK. She believed in heaven and stuff, so she’s got all that covered.” Matt reminded me of that part in the movie when we went to check that Ben’s plaque and flowers were OK in the cemetery this week: Ben had all that covered too.
Matt didn’t think he particularly wanted to go to the cemetery but eventually he did exactly what I think Ben would have done in his shoes. He climbed the tree overlooking Ben’s plaque and standing in a fork of the tree, he rested his back on one of the branches and read his book. It’s a peaceful spot and we’re sure there is a spiritual reason for that. In the end it was Matt telling me that he wanted to stay there a bit longer.
Merry Christmas from us all,
Lindy

Blessings and love to you and all your family, Lindy. Your faith, practicality and "realness" is an inspiration.
Un poco tarde, pero "Merry Christmas" y Feliz año nuevo. Siempre pensamos en ustedes. Me acuerdo de esa escena de la película, y estoy de acuerdo, he had all that covered. Un abrazo para todos! Y by the way, Mateo está inmenso y muuy parecido a Lindy!
