Alex, Anna and I went to the family meeting to commemorate the death of my mother in law on March 18th, 2007, and to attend the special ceremony held for her in Bodnegg church. It was a sad occasion to come together again, but it is a tradition well worth keeping.
The gravestone had been set up a few days ago, and the grave will be decorated with spring flowers now. Anna and Alex had arranged a lovely wicker basket with flowers for their grandparents' grave, with daisies, pansies, and forget-me-nots. They will never forget them, they were so kind and dear and cheerful despite the hard life they had had.
Around noon we went back to Stuttgart. Our mood isn't set to any activites like movies or theatre, so we'll have a quiet evening at home. Tomorrow Emil and I will go back to Berlin, for a few weeks until the operation in Stuttgart. Sigh.
