Last Wednesday the family buried Pop at Arlington National Cemetery. It was supposed to rain and instead we had clear blue skies and sunshine which Pop would have enjoyed! A Blackhawk helicopter flew overhead in the middle of the ceremony which was significant for us as it also happened at Mom's funeral. I was impressed that the Women of Arlington had a representative there to talk to us and give us a card. It was to signify the family involvement of the military life. Even though Pop did not make it to his 93rd birthday, he did make it to sunny days, warmth, and he was surrounded by love and family.
