It was five months ago that mom left us. Tonight Dad came over to watch the Packers vs. Vikings game and brought this photo. He's proud of this memorial. And he should be proud. This is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady. He labored over the details of this choice, considering all of mom's "wish list" and some more practical considerations to arrive at this lovely design. In addition to the usual dates, the small strip along the bottom lists the names of each of their children. It's the first time I'm seeing my name on a headstone. A stark reminder of the brevity of life.
I know Mom is pleased.
