Memorial Mass

Abi was briefed by her mother during breakfast on what was going to happen that day, the mass and participation in walking up following Ahma and carrying flowers. During the mass Abigail drew quietly with Lorien and Atticus, and when the time for offertory came she took Atticus' hand and they walked up together. Then at the recessional, Abigail spontaneously ran out to the area in front of the altar and danced (wearing her twirly dress). Suddenly she remembered something and ran back to her pew to grab a tiara and wand. More dancing, then she rushed back to grab a spray of flowers that Pascale had had from offertory. During lunch Abigail continued dancing after her hunger had been satisfied with vegemite sandwiches, despite the temperature being unusually warm at 28deg C.
