I am participating in the 30 Days of Thanks by BoogieMum. What a great idea for making November a month of thanks instead of just a day!
I am thankful for kind hearted people. Today my daughter and my two sons helped to plant a garden. This garden was in memory of a little girl who died after being in a car accident 5 years ago. Just the thought of this breaks my heart.
Today over 30 adults and about as many children helped to rake, dispose of leaves, and plant some potentially beautiful flower bulbs in memory of this little girl.
We helped plant along side some first graders - my daughter's age. They didn't really grasp the entire concept of the day. They just had fun digging and planting flowers.
The family of the little girl who died watched with smiles on their faces.
I am not sure how I would handle something as devastating as losing a child. I am thankful that my children and the rest of the girl scout troop were able to help bring a bit of joy to this family on what was probably a heart wrenching day.
