I am posting this here cause, while it is not just a random photo for me, and rather personal, I don't think It warrants it's own topic, nonetheless, it is something I would like to finally share.
This is my memorial to my mother, since I did not want to have an urn myself yet I did want her to have a place in my home, a place where I could keep the hanger with her ash in it safe. I eventually came up with this:
The two small plushies and the owl candle are things I was given by her, the wooden bowl like thing, the squirrel, the two candle holders and the two fall/forest puppets I bought specifically for this memorial, as they were things that she would have bought herself. This picture was taken around early fall last year.
Yes I know, large picture x.xNow this is the recent update I made today, the glass marble (yes, it's a giant marble) is something I was given by her as well, and it looks nice so I added it. The gravel however is the main piece of the addition and the thing that completes it. This gravel comes from the nearby racing circuit called the TT circuit, it is a place that holds many of the greater motor events like the Moto GP and Superbikes as well as other races, both cars and bikes. She was a medical that frequently stood at the circuit at one of the several posts at the corners. This gravel is from the one post she stood most frequently, taken from the gravel that's at the corners. Seeing as her voluntary work at the TT Circuit was a major part of her life, it felt fitting to include it.
Adding of the gravel was also that which completes the memorial, and it feels good to have it finally complete now.
