A Final Resting Place

3 Years ago Scott showed me this picture online of this hand carved granite bird bath urn that he wanted me to buy to put his ashes in after he passed away. He asked to be put under the tree in the back yard so that he could be in his favorite place with the birds and to be close to us. After he passed I purchased this “urn” only to find that there was no place to put his ashes. I looked back to the place I bought it and realized it said “Flower Urn or Bird Bath”. We had assumed that Urn meant something for ashes but this had just been another word for flower pot. So, unsure what to do and not being in the best frame of mind to send it back (it was extremely heavy etc) I put it under the tree and put his ashes in my closet until I could figure it out. Well, two weeks ago I decided it was time to deal with it, thanks from some encouragement from a friend I started to come up with a plan. I was able to seal his ashes into the pot and the design on the top is made from some of his favorite sheets of stained glass that he used in his art. He had a love affair with glass. I never saw him happier than when he would stare at these sheets of glass with the light shining through it. He loved the streaks and the texture and everything about it. The boys helped me with the design and we chose his favorite pieces and colors. It’s crazy that it took me three years to do this but I am pleased at how it all came together. I am so happy to have finally laid him to rest and know that I carried out his wishes. Just wanted to share this and how it came out. Thanks for taking a look.
