This is #mom. She died about a year and a half ago (time flies...) Today we lay her to rest. I made an #urn for her. From a #hickory #tree I cut down off this land that my folks lived on together for more than 40 years. She’s the reason I became a #woodworker and then a #welder (of sorts). I think she would have approved of it. It’s also my #dads #birthday 🎁🎉🎈 (let’s make it a memorable day...) #happybirthday #pop #itwashischoice Yesterday I took her on one last walk out back, to the #view from the #airstrip of the #valley she loved so much. 🛫🌤🌱 I think I could feel her there with me. She probably would have questioned why I was drinking #beer in the middle of the day 😂 #love you mom, we’ll miss you forever. 💙 ••• #seeyousoon #family #dad #ma #sis #robrob #sis #BD #moremetalwoodworking #MMW #ithaca #newyork #loveisstrongerthandeath (at Ithaca, New York)
