Happy Places

When we traveled to Pennsylvania last week for my mother's burial service, we stayed in the town where she grew up, Greenville. We visited some of the homes she lived in and we went to one of her favorite restaurants.It was nice and somewhat comforting to be where she once lived her life as a young girl. It felt good to order graham cracker cream pie at Paxton's. She always loved a good piece of graham cracker cream. It was also nice to be in my aunt's home and share memories with her and listen to some old and new stories while looking through old pictures. Memories help us heal...so I've heard and I hope that is true.
