An unfortunate event led to a emergency trip to Arkansas. Grandma Ruby passed away, so Mom booked a flight to Little Rock and rented a car to drive to Dumas. It was going to be an early wake up with no chance to be late to catch the flight, so extra alarms were needed!
Lincoln did a lot of thinking about Mom's flight, and he had a lot to say after prayers. He had been siting in his room for a while working on a demonstration and delivered his presentation with lots of detail. (Sorry it got a little graphic about dying, but he was so serious.)
Beau listened to Lincoln from the hallway and went to his room to make his own presentation.
No pictures were taken during the trip, but it was as nice as the situation would allow. We had a family lunch at church, visitation and a nice service at the funeral home, and a sunny burial service. Even under the circumstances, it was nice to see lots of Freeman family. Lincoln and Beau didn't go to Arkansas; they went to school as usual. They both had a few opportunities to visit Grandma Ruby, and I'm glad they got to know her. (They probably most remember her puppy dogs!) Back home safe and sound pretty late that night, but it was definitely good to go be with family.
