I had the kid's pictures done together last year and dressed them in red because those were the only matching clothes they owned. I promised my Grama picture but she died before the pictures were done. She wanted to be buried with a picture of each and ever one of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. When I brought my pics to the funeral home...before I laid them beneath her hands...I showed them to my father and he said..."Oh, she would have loved the red." Red was her favorite color, but that's not why I did their pics in red (the pic I speak of is to the right of my posts). This year I'm doing them in red on purpose. We're coming up on the day she was admitted to the hospital for kidney stones-(the same day I walked across the stage and accepted my diploma)-May 17th-also the last day she spent at home. When I mentioned to my therapist that it was only a month until the one year anniversary of her death, she asked me if there was anything I could do "in her memory". Grama loved red, so their spring/summer pictures will be done in red again. I know that's something small, but Grama loved summer too.
