Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,
Today my mom and I have seen the definite version of the grave-stone for my dad's grave. They will place it next Monday or Tuesday. Finally we can start with our real mourning after such a long time. I cannot imagine that it has been almost nine months ago that my dad died.
Today our prompt is decay and it is a bit rare to see this prompt on this day (thinking about what I wrote above), but ... I had planned this prompt for today so I couldn't change that anymore.

Good to have your father's grave marked by permanent stone...your heart and mind marked with his memory. Let yourself grieve...you have our sympathy, Kristjaan.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn__ the grave stone was placed earlier today and we (my mom and I) will go to the cemetery this Thursday. It has become wonderful, but I am looking forward to see it for real later this week on the graveyard.
