These are all so great. I also just had the thought of going to the local hospitals and visiting the little cancer victims, if that is allowed, and maybe bring them a stuffed animal/gift in memory or Zahra or in Zahra's name??
I also am "in love" with butterflies. I think planting a "white flower" that attracts butterflies would be an awesome idea in the spring/summer months to remember her by and then putting up an "angel tree" when the butterflies go away to remember her by.
My mil usually puts up 26 trees in her house but they have hit hard times so she is not going to do it this year. I could borrow one of her trees, maybe even the white one and see about finding some ornaments she may have that are suitable for this year, then as I get the money or find an ornament add it in each child/adults name. I absolutely love this idea and think I have found what I want to do with all your help. This seems "right" to me. After all the looking around yesterday for something poignant and nothing seemed to fit the bill, this does.
Thank you all so much for sharing your ideas. Let the healing begin.
