I am finally posting Evan's Grave Marker. Evan's grave marker was placed on September 7, 2011 on his 5th birthday, 3 years after he passed away. Finally having a grave marker that represents Evan feels like a huge burden or weight lifted off my back. That's the best way I can describe it. The marker turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. I am so grateful.....yes, that's it...
grateful.
I wanted to be there when the grave marker was placed, just like I wanted to stay to make sure Evan was lowered there the day he was buried. I can't explain why, but I am sure there are others who can relate to how I feel.
Every August until after Christmas is the hardest time for me. I hope I will be able to enjoy that time of year, like I used to. Each year gets a little better, a little easier, a little lighter. It will be 4 years this August without Evan. How we still miss him so much, but grateful that he has such a beautiful marker as a reminder to all who see it...that a beautiful little angel once walked amongst us...
