I had to wait to post the photo I took until I got home because my tablet has difficulty with pictures, but your dad & sister, Olivia, picked a nice, simple headstone with snapdragons on it. The only thing I would have liked to add would have been the one scripture I told myself I would put on a headstone if the Unthinkable happened and I lost a child:
"The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Job 1:21
I am surprised at the closure this little monument brings. I feel the cycle of grief has been completed in some way & I can move on to the rest of my life while still revering yours. It's like I don't feel I have to keep checking up on you any more. I will still miss you (always) and go to visit when I can, but some part of the wound in my heart has been healed.
Arohanui, Gingle.
