We had a small memorial today for my gram. We had a a nice early afternoon champagne brunch and told stories about her with family in Sausalito: it was perfect. The food, the wine, the company, and the stories.

We brought Gram along for the event. A custom urn will be in the making for a few months, so we bought her a really lovely box to hang out temporarily. We had about 20 amazing photos, and brought some of her favorite things (zip ties, crosswords, Royal Secret cologne) and set her up with about 4 dozen roses.

After everyone left and we packed things up to take her back to my Mom’s place. We drove back to 101 along Bridgeway—the main drag in Sausilito. A huge tangerine colored moon hung low over the water as we drove along the water.

She would have loved everything about the day and evening.
