Gain by loss

Today weather forecast is high 20 degree, but it's very windy and feel like 10 degree.
Ryan wakes up at around 8am, get him ready, we went to the lobby for free wifi and let Tony to get a little more rest. I was on my laptop, Ryan on my iPhone. Mark passes by, he is ready for his golf game. Ryan gave him a hug. Then we saw Yvonne outside, we went outside, Ryan gave her a good bye hug. It was very windy and cold. Both of them wearing shorts for the game.
Return to the lobby, Ryan wants to go back to the room. Tony was getting ready, we went to the restaurant for brunch.
Arrived home before 1 o'clock. I took a quick shower and put on a black dress, black stocking and a brown jacket. Tony wearing a navy blue shirt, black dress pant and black sweater jacket. Ryan dressed up too. He kept asking where we going.
We bring the white Teddy bear, a card and the tulip flower...
I didn't know the Little Lamb Memorial Garden is actually opposite Station Creek Golf Club. We're pass by here all the time.
It was a brief ceremony. Chaplain Shield reads some poem and prayer, then the ashes buried in the pre dug hole. When the ceremony starts, my eyes were welled with tears, keep flowing down my cheeks. I wasn't expect I would cried again but I did. Tony too. Ryan cries because he wants the Teddy bear back after he threw it in the hole. He has many tough questions for us. First he thought Riley is his friend in school, he says he will give Riley the Teddy bear.
"Teddy bear is going to get dirty. "
" Why they cover it with dirt?"
"we will go back to get the flower in the summer. "
After the ceremony, we asked Linda the person in charge of the memorial garden to make the gravestone and I want to have this engraved on it...
"In the place of what Thou takest, Thou dost give Thyself to me"
Well, this is the closure of my wound.
