That was right before I legally married 2 friends of mine. (I'm ordained in the ULC.) I'm holding one of my Grandfathers's old bibles. He married over 1000 couples with it and gave it to me for my first ceremony. It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life.
This year, my grandpa gave me another of his bibles to burn with the Man. It is old and worn from 15 years of Sunday sermons.
Having me burn it with the man is his way of facing his own death and embracing my version of faith.
I don't expect everyone here to get this. And a year ago I would never share something so sacred to me on GFY. But my 92 year old grandpa reminded me something this week at lunch, "I'd rather be ridiculed than ignored" he said.
