There isn't a lot to say tonight. We did a small private ceremony at the gravesite for Mom today. There were ten of us there.
On Saturday David gave me a seed about an inch and a half in diameter. It was the color of mahagony and shaped like a heart. He gave it to me so I would have something in my hand or pocket or heart to make it through the day, to know I was loved. I placed it on the top of Mom's box today before they covered her up.
Hillside Cemetary is beautiful. Daddy's site was old and uncared for. Our response as adults was to promise flowers or plants. But it is a beautiful place to end a life.
Lovely Lindy. The rose is very moving to me.
