i went to the cemetery today to tell gary happy new year. i'm so looking forward to spring when it's warm enough to pour concrete so i can get our headstone set. have not gone to look at them yet but i expect that will be hard to do as well.
on Christmas day, i went there and sat with him for a while. i cleaned up all of the funeral flowers, they were still all there. i took all of the ribbons and bows and covered a small metal frame with them, this frame had held a memorial cross made with flowers. in the middle of all of the frozen, dead flowers, i found a single yellow rose that was still in perfect shape. i put that in the center of one of the bows. today, it still looks as fresh as it did almost a month ago although it is encased in ice. it still looks SO pretty and gary loved roses.
