Garen thinks it's neat his name is written there, but doesn't get the concept of a grave. When he was sitting on the headstone I asked him to get off because that belongs to the other Garen and he said looking confused, "it's a rock."

Bear Lake Vacation: Visiting the Cemetery
We rode the 4 wheeler up to the St. Charles Cemetery where several of Andy's ancestors are buried. Grandpa Roger's brother died at 4 days old; this is who Garen is named after. Grandpa also lost his other brother at age 4 and his father at age 45 in a fire.

I knew he was named after family, but I didn't know it was after an infant that died at four days! If (& when...no announcement here!) Troy and I have another little girl we have a named picked out that will be after family. We will probably get a boy...seeing it will be the last..... :)
That is a tender moment.
