Saying goodbye to Mummy Palmer

Spent part of the evening after getting home from work, finishing up on the project you see below. This isn't just any old project but something I hope will give us all some closure to the death of my mother-in-law, especially for Ed.

It really is a rough time for us all....not being able to go back to the States to say our final goodbyes....And so I made this little thing with 4 candles we lighted at the time she was being buried back home in the States and each candle represented something...

The first candle represented our grief and the pain of losing her.The second represented our courage and to be able to confront our sorrow, and to comfort each other. The third candle we lit was in her memory. For the times we laughed, the times we cried, the times we were angry with each other, and the silly things she did. And the fourth candle we lit for our love. We lit this candle so that her light will always shine.

There will always be a special place in our hearts reserved for her. And we thank her for the gift her living brought to each of us.
