And just in time for his birthday. The delay was on my end, not the ?engraver’s? I don’t know what they’re called. Anyway... here it is. I’m really happy with how it turned out. So is his family. The guy actually offered me a discount, which I took, for permission to show it to other people. He said most people don’t usually put so much text on it. It ended up being a bit taller than standard bc of so much lettering. I didn’t realize we could customize but he was happy to. Also I like the addition of the base. I was considering getting a lower wedge type stone but he said that would be more expensive bc of so much granite. {pic hosted at post images}

Beautiful. The placing of the headstone really makes the death of the loved one permanent. The final marking of their life and death. Many hugs to you today.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Ah hugs jenjie, how are you feeling about seeing it in place? Good! I feel like it’s just right. My oldest has had a hard time letting go so it was easy to put it off. But I told him we do this to show honor.

It’s not uncommon to take awhile to get the headstoneup. I think it serves a purpose in helping the grieving process move at a healthy graduated pace. That looks great, and it is one of my all time favorite passages.
