The day after Mom's memorial was gorgeous out. We packed up lunches and drive up Hatcher's Pass to the trailhead to April Bowl. It is a place we all have been many many times. The top of the hike is high up to a lake in a bowl shaped basin that makes the most incredible acoustics. God's amphitheater. You can hear a conversation from two hundred yards away. We brought guitars. Todd brought letters that the social worker from Heart 'n Home had transposed for Mom while she talked. One personalized letter for each of her children. We each opened our letters and read them to ourselves. We played songs as tribute to her. We said farewell in a place that always felt like home.
