A memorial service...

The kids at school held a memorial service today for Johanna....much like her retirement one last year with poems and songs....it was beautiful, and lots of tears were shed but a wonderful one to memorialise Johanna...she would have loved it. Her husband David, was there, the first time we've seen him at work this week(David Hinton is the school principal now...has been since she retired last year and does a wonderful job...but it's been a hell of a week for him...but he's so strong and you can tell he's shed a lot of tears but the strength in him has helped everyone get through this week so well.....
I cried a lot today...probably more than I will at the funeral tomorrow...because kids just say the things you've always wanted to say yourself and don't always know how to....and when my baby started crying through her song I wept a little harder.....
I keep telling myself that she wanted us to be all that we could be so that is what I am going to do...be a better me
