Jenny Marrs Shares Emotional Moments From ‘Bittersweet’ Family Trip

On June 10, Marrs took to Instagram to share a moving experience during a trip that was supposed to include her mother-in-law.

“Three summers ago, we visited Normandy, leaving with a deep sense of awe and reverence. After hearing about our time away, Dave’s parents decided they would really love to visit,” she wrote in the caption. “So, we began planning.”

“This past year of grief has felt debilitating at times yet it has also forced us to face the reality of all humanity: We aren’t promised tomorrow. We make choices now based on that reality and when we decided late last fall to bring Dave’s dad here, fulfilling the wish to stand on these shores even if it meant doing so without his beloved, we planned with heavy and hopeful hearts,” the HGTV star shared.

“We knew this trip would be emotional and bittersweet,” she noted.

Marrs also shared photos and thoughts about an unforgettable visit to a church.

“On the anniversary of D-Day, we ducked into Notre-Dame de Bayeux to visit and allow the rain to pass,” she wrote. “When Luke found a euro (‘penny’) at the foot of the candle stand where we lit candles in Nana’s memory, it felt like a God wink and reminder: we aren’t alone. We carry her with us, God is with us and we can walk forward in Hope. The veil felt thin.”

“I will never forget that moment and will treasure this ‘penny’ always,” she added.

In the post, she noted in text over the photos: “A moment we’ll never forget. We ducked into this beautiful cathedral to get out of the rain. Each of the kids lit a candle for Nana — she was supposed to be on this trip with us. We were planning to be here last year together and then postponed when her health declined.”

“Yet. We carry her love here with us,” Marrs noted. “Just after the candles were lit and a prayer was said, the sun started shining brightly through the stained glass window panes. And, Luke looked down to find ‘a penny.’ Whenever Nana would find a penny, she would say it was her mom’s way of reminding her she loved her. It felt like her way of reminding us: we carry her love, always.”
