Your tombstone

Here are the first sketches of the stonemason. I went there one sunny afternoon all by myself, Tonie was with the sitter and I just thought... let's get this done. I cried for the following two days.

We have chosen a big family grave for you under a beautiful birchtree. We had something very clean in mind for you. A beautiful off-white stone, beige maybe, with a blue inscription. The stonemason suggested a singular boulder. But all 3 of us don't think it would suit you. So we kind of have a group of stones in mind. Your stone and three other stones, framing you. And maybe, one day, those stones can be ours. One for each of your kids. Who knows. But at least this way you'll know, we are always with you.
