Kemper passed away shortly after that last post. As anyone with an older and loved pet will know, she leaves a big hole in our lives. I think we still expect her to answer the door when we come home, though, sad to say, life goes on and that expectation is slowly diminshing. Which is why memories are so improtant, and with life to demanding, so dependent on reminders.
We buried her under a dogwood tree in the back yard, which has been steadily receiving all our pets, including the last 3 favorite cats. With a simple flat stone and small garden, it is a place to remember and to be reminded as we go through our day.
We should put places like this in our projects. Trees or special places at the end of a vista or along a path, or niches, shelves or walls kept bare on purpose to receive the pictures of those we love. Great cabinets or terrific storage space or the perfect tve spot is one thing, but we need to remember to remember.
Plan some places, spaces and views into your designs, to remember.
