Honoring the Dead

M made a list of all of the dead people "she knows" yesterday. She made herself lined paper and wrote out "Peggy", "Julio" (my grandfather whom she never met) and "Papi's grandmothers and grandfathers." Today she went back to the list and started cutting out the names. We have a mantel in our home with a picture of one of F's ancestors who was named Gioacchino and we out a little place name with our son's name in front to be funny. M cut out Julio's name and put it in front of his picture. She then made drawing of Peggy and taped it to her name tag and put her on the mantel as well. Too damn sweet.
