Our friends Rob and Mike brought us a beautiful white Butterfly Bush to plant in our backyard as a memorial to Rita Mae. We planted it near the retaining wall that she loved to walk on.
I got teary eyed while we planted it, both for missing her, and for having a beautiful reminder of her to look at.
I miss her so much.
