I lost my husband on April 26th, exactly 1 week later my father passed away.  Today was a very tough day being Memorial Day.  I lost my mother 6 years ago and its still hard on me.  We were very close and i miss her very much.  Now i miss them all everyday.  My husband and I usually did a lot of planting on this long weekend, While my father sat on the deck and watched us. This year it was just me, so I decided to make a memorial garden for them. It felt right to do something like that. .
