Visiting Grandma

After almost three years, our family finally visited the beach where Grandma Krauss was laid to rest. For those of you who don't know, Mom's ashes were spread over the waters of Maui shortly after her death. Maui was a very special place for my parents and mom requested that her ashes be spread over the waters to symbolize how much she loved the time they spent their together. As my Dad would tell you (and I know my mom would agree), their last trip to Maui was the best 10 days of his life.

So....... together as a family we visited the beach where Mom's ashes were spread and together tossed flowers into the Ocean in her memory.

Our trip to the beach was bitter sweet because although we were saddened by the loss of mom, we rejoiced in the opportunity to introduce Rebecca Alyse to her Grandmother. Meeting Alyse would have been one of my mothers greatest joys. Funny how life had now come full circle. What a wonderful story to someday tell our daughter.

Maui will always hold a special place in all of our hearts and there is no doubt that we will visit it again someday.
