On March 1st my DH and I will be performing my first pagan ceremony (ritual?). March 1st was my Grandpa's birthday. His name was Virgil Hugh Gipson and I want to keep his memory alive. I swore to him that my first borne son will carry at least part of his name, probably his middle name, Hugh. From time to time I will blog about the stories my Grandpa once told me. Up until the time I met Jim, Grandpa was the only person who believed in me. He was a devout Catholic and a leader in the community in Piedmont, MO. I love my Grandpa so much. I miss him dearly. DH and I talked about the ritual that we are going to do. I never told my Grandpa good-bye and I still have dreams that I'm running to him and just as I'm getting to him he dies. I think now I'll finally be able to say good-bye. Well, look at me, now. I start talking (aka blogging) about Grandpa and the tears star rolling. Now is it called ritual or ceremony, I don't know? I crossed ceremony out earlier but I'm not sure whether ceremony or ritual is the appropriate word.
Because he was a devout Catholic (and I used to be) I want to light a candle for him at the Catholic Church. Then I want to make his favorite dessert coconut pie. The man loved his coconuts!
