This picture was taken from the balcony of the house Grandpa John had built and lived in for over 50 years.Today my family and I are finally putting him to rest at Arlington National Cemetery. Just reading the description of the military ceremony got me choked up so I can only imagine what the actual experience will be like. Closure and peace; it's going to be good.
REQUIEM
by: Robert Louis Stevenson
UNDER the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to be;
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
