Flowers For Lori, A Meditating Mutt, And A Pair Of Angel's Wings

Some people are simply too kind...

I was recently in an e-mail conversation with Amy Scher, who blogs at Healthcare Hacks (and is currently in India receiving Embryonic Stem Cell treatment for her own chronic illness,) when I mentioned that India was one of the next places that Lori & I had hoped to travel to.

Not missing a beat, Amy offered to pick some flowers for Lori and place them in a lovely spot in Hauz Khas village in New Delhi, as a sort of impromptu memorial. I told her Lori's favorite colors (burgundy, reds, and purples,) and a day later she sent back these wonderful photos.

As Amy so graciously put it "You and Lori are both in my heart -- so you can never say you didn't go to India together."

Thank you so much Amy... you absolutely made my week.

The appearance of the meditating mutt, not to mention the "angel's wings" in the clouds, pretty much guarantees that Lori was there in spirit. We love you Lori!

I will pass along the idea that others make these memorials if so inspired....I'm sure inspired!

Thank you Amy, this is so very sweet.

What a perfect thing to do.
I love that.
Amy, what a beautiful way to find Lori -- but in the most enchanting places. Warms my heart.

What a wonderful idea, and what beautiful pictures. It inspires me to do the same, and I will find a special Arizona spot.

Cary,

I am a good friend of Amy Scher and she directed me to your site. I live in Maui and as you honeymooned here, I want to do a memorial for Lori. My canoe club does a sunrise paddle every Wednesday - we will dedicate this Wednesday's paddle (January 16th) to you and Lori and sprinkle flowers in the water.

Sincerely,

Nadine

Nadine,

Thank you so much... that would be absolutely beautiful.

I wish I could see photos, but I'm sure that would be difficult to do from a canoe! :)

You are too, too kind.

Thank you,
From Lori & I both.

Thank you all.

Cary,

Fortunately I have a waterproof camera and will take pictures from the canoe.

I will send them to you by Wednesday afternoon.

You will both be in our thoughts.

I am continuing to be overwhelmed, yet delighted by the compassion of so many kind spirits. You've raised ours. Much love to you all. Our Swee Lori Shines On!
