The box we put in the freezer with Skeez in it
Skeez's viewing and burial ended up being postponed until the following Monday, September 22, at 6:00 PM. I started off by telling about Skeez's life, such as the time he got lost in our Logan apartment and we found him 4 days later inside the furnace, which I had pretty much taken apart after I heard scratching inside, and then I opened up the floor for others to comment on how wonderful he had been in their lives! After that, Adam, who I had asked to put Skeez in the hole because I didn't have the heart to drop him in there, picked up the shirt he was wrapped in and started to bend over the hole when....Skeez accidentally fell out of the shirt, thudded hard right next to the hole, and then bounced in! We all sat there stunned for a second and then started laughing, as I'm sure Skeez would've wanted us to! I filled in the hole and put flowers on top (Hollie wasn't able to come until later that evening, that's why her rose isn't shown here on the grave) and that was it! There were no tears, other than fake ones, it was just a beautiful remembrance of my son! I love and miss you little buddy!
