What a lovely tribute to Sebastian’s memory.

This little ceremony seems exactly right; thank you for sharing it. It’s important that E and A can acknowledge their brother, but right that they can carry it more lightly than the parents, who comprehend it more fully and therefore more sadly. If their hearts can hold him, but not be burdened, that is wonderful. May the seasons come and go, the tree grow, the children climb, and the sadness mellow into a cherished but not heavy memory. Love you all!!

Love you too, Quinn. I hope they will be interested to read all this someday, as you say.

It was a beautiful day. Along with grey clouds and chilly fall temperatures, there were warm colours all around, and a kind of special hush hanging in the air. I was really glad to be there, and to be part of the circle around Sebastian and his tree.
