I just got through planting a Hibiscus bush at the head of "Baby"s grave
(but on the house side of the fence). I also put the nameplate that was on
"Baby"s stall on the fence post alongside of the bush.
I did it all by myself -- I didn't cry -- but after all the work was done
I silently said 'this is for you "Baby"'. You know, I felt pretty good after
I did that!!
Now everytime I look out my kitchen or living room window I'll see
"Baby"s Bush!!!!!!
I have so many wonderful memories of "Baby"!!!! AND, guess what?? I got
the nicest package from the people who owned "Baby" first ....... they had a
head shot picture of "Baby" - they had the pic blowen up - put it in an 8x10
frame and sent it to me. I was sooooooo tickled to get it!!
Don't know if I told you or not but I contacted them after "Baby" passed
away ....... they were so glad that I had called them as they really didn't
want to see "Baby" (they had called her BIG MAMA) but had run into some
financial difficulties and had to sell her. They told me that they had
always regretted selling her.
