We are in the process of working on Gordon's memorial over his grave site. Matthew and I are going to share one with him since he is buried in between our plots. This makes it a little tricky. We didn't have very much time to decide what we were going to do. But now that it is what it is, this is how we must do it. The cemetery that we decided on, all the plots are flat and made of bronze. We haven't been in a crazy rush since everything is still covered in snow, but now that things are melting we are on it. We decided we like the ones that have pictures engraved on them, so we were able to find pictures to use for Gordon, but then we needed pictures for us too. I am not sure how strange that will be later on, but there just doesn't seem to be a rule book on this kind of thing. So Matthew and I didn't have any good recent pictures of just us, so we went and had our pictures taken. We went to the same place where we had all the kids pictures taken recently, but a different lady picked up the phone. When I made the appointment, the lady asked me if there was a special occasion for the pictures. I said, "you probably don't want to know." But then after saying that, I had to go on and I told her what it was for. ... a little bit of an awkward moment. It works out anyway because I am not really ready for a family photo yet without our Gordon. And now we can be added to the wall of family photos.
So here are our pictures that will be permanently etched over our sweet boy.
... and a couple others.
... and a cheesy one.
The lady doing our pictures was very good. It was a good experience. She was the same one that took the kids pictures, but it was her day off, so she came in just for us. I appreciated it.
