Adam Garden

Here are more images from my Adam Garden. Each piece has a special meaning. Most of the items were donated by family or friends. The memorial stone with the dates was given to us by our neighbors. The butterfly tree was given to us by a co-worker of Adam. The sitting angel boy was given to us by my husbands cousin. The fish stone was given to us by a friend of my husband who along with his son had a lot of fun fishing times together with Adam. The white rose bush above the fish stone (not in bloom yet)was given to us by my sister on the one year anniversary of Adam's leaving. It is so beautiful when it is in bloom. The garden stone was given to us by my family. We bought the glider bench so people can sit, relax and remember. It is a magnet in our yard. Someone is always sitting there and hopefully reflecting on Adam and what he meant to them in their life. The garden will be in full bloom shortly and that is where I find my peace and solitude. You do not have to wait for family or friends to give you things to make a garden. It can be as simple as a pot of Forget-Me-Nots on your deck, or a small area of an existing garden. Fill it with something special that reflects who your Loved One is or something they liked. It may not be easy, but it is possible:)
