After my mom died, I found that H had put together this little memorial. I don't think she would mind if I share it with you. This is a my real girl. My girl who loves her family and cherishes things passed down through the generations. Nothing special...a little leather covered magnifying glass, books, photos. Here she has a picture of she and my mom when she was little, some of my mom's shell collection, a serenity rock that I gave her the last time she was in treatment, and the little green vial to the right contains a pinch of my mom's ashes.
This is my girl.

What a beautiful memorial... thank you for sharing.
I'm one to hang onto sentimetnal family items; they bring me joy, peace and memories of the past.
Addicts are very sensitive, and that might be part of the problem. An over sensitivity to life...
beautiful post. When we are feeling pressure, we can stop and remember the person inside. No one is all bad, and few situations are completely black or white.
I shed a tear when I read this. I miss my girl so much....
Lou is so right. Our addicts are usually our sensitive ones,... making them more vulnerable to life's ups and downs, as we've seen. My addict is the one of my children that wants to keep the mementoes & family things that have meaning.
And Bristol,.. I'm sorry. I know this has been such a hard road for you. Hugs to you from me.
Annette, What a sweet tribute your daughter made. Thanks for sharing this.
Lou is right, and I needed to be reminded of that today.
Your girl reminds me of YOU. This is a very touching and meaningful memorial to her grandmother.
Thanks for caring about me and Keven.
A lovely shrine - is great to attach meaning to objects.
So sweet and beautiful!
I do think too that those who are overly sensitive have the hardest time with alcoholism and addiction. I know that I am sensitive but must also have that streak of iron as well.
