The cross before sunrise, it was dark and cold. We lit his lilac candle.
We sat until the sun came up, connecting to the place he had been.
We placed his camo jacket by the cross as a symbol of warmth.
Judy sitting - we shoveled an area so we could set up our chairs, the snow was thigh-high by US 131.
Bev sitting, it was incredibly cold after 30 minutes, the time he was lying in the snow.
The sadness and cold were eased by a beautiful sunrise, which we both wish Phil could have seen last year.
A flock of birds flew overhead, such a spiritual feeling right then.
We warmed up at Bob Evans with Phil's picture and spirit.
Phil's good friend Pat joined us and shared comforting hugs.
