In our attempt to work through some of our grief and build a memorial that would remind us daily of the impact Colleen had on our lives, we decided to plant a garden. As a family, we went to the green house and each chose a plant that reminded us of Colleen in some way. We created a garden right beside our front door and planted the plants we chose there. For us, this is a living memory of Colleen's life and the impact she had on ours.
Ethan chose a hosta and some beautiful yellow flowers.
Reuben chose a calla lily.
I chose a hydrangea.
And we chose a hosta with beautiful purple flowers for Jonas.
We received a few plants as gifts from friends and added those to our garden as well. Thank you to our friends and family that were supporting us and thinking of us during this difficult time.
