    This time of year is a sad time for me, it was two years ago yesterday, that John died. I miss him terribly!

    I went to his grave of course, and thought I would post a few pictures here.

    In the autumn, I went and planted a beautiful red rose, right on top of him. I covered it up with some spruce to prtect it from the frost, and I hope it will blossom this summer. Yesterday, I went and removed what I had put for Christmas, and then put a few tulips.

    Recently, the guy who made the gravestone had managed to find a bronze cat, that has been put on, as you’ll notice. It didn’t go on top as planned, as it is laying flat and had to be screwed in. I just know John would have loved this.

    So to the pictures.

    The candle in the first one, his son and ex put there.


    A little closer


    And even closer


    And real close



    John has a “neighbor” in the next row over, she must have loved cats too. Oh, and you may notice something else in the background.


    In John's memory, I hope you'll all go and read a Jonza thread. He wrote some good ones.

    I thought of you yesterday, as I knew his anniversary was the 8th. The site is beautiful.

    You are missed John.

    Randi, the bronze cat is such a beautiful touch. The flowers and candle are nice as well. I must say, that is one of the more nicer cemetaries I've seen with all the unique gravestones/memorials.

    Around here they are primarily plaques that are set into the ground.

    It's a lovely, peaceful place. And the little bronze cat looks so watchful and protective.
