The gravestone has been in place at Micah's grave for about a month now. It turned out to meet all our expectations and more---even the business that engraved it was surprised how great it turned out. All-in-all, it has been a long process with a lot of emotions, what with the designing/perfecting/engraving and so on. To finally have it sitting at the grave is shocking but also really meaningful. It adds a sense of surreal-finality but it also feels right to finally have the spot officially marked.
I would post a picture but I don't think it would give it justice; it's just something you have to see in person. If anyone would ever like to see the grave, feel free to contact me, I'd love to take you--we can have a picnic! :)
The spot has become warm and alive with plants, flowers, and a butterfly house--nothing like a cold, gray, usual cemetery plot. It's very Micah-like, and that's all I could ask for.
