After Mima went into the sky, dad stayed home from work for a whole week.

The first thing we did was to get to where we could look out over the city and mountains that Mima loved so much.

Then we drove up to the big mountains and went on beautiful hikes.

Some hikes I slept through.

Some hikes had water shooting out of rocks.

(The water was loud. It woke me up.)

And some hikes were very short with beautiful views.

It was a good week together as a family, even though we were sad.

There is still so much beauty in the midst of sadness.
