Thanks for everyone who kept our big kids in your thoughts and prayers while they were away at grief camp. It was a great success, and the kids are still talking about their experiences, and the people who surrounded them. Many more friendships were made, phone numbers were exchanged, and lots of  play dates are planned. On Saturday night, they each made luminary bags, and cut out designs for their loved ones. They were then all taken out on a boat, lit, and allowed to float in the water while each name was read. The kids were able to tell a part of their stories and of the person they lost. This seems to be the most emotional and memorable part of camp, as each kid has continued to talk about it. I can only imagine how beautiful, and yet emotional it was. So thankful for all the people involved in making this camp happen for all these sweet kids.

Here are some pictures from the closing ceremony.
