A very beautiful story – thanks fopr sharing. My wife had a dear friend pass away some 30 years ago. Every dove she sees, we call that dove by the friends name. Remember that as you pass time waiting to see her again.

Sorry for your families loss. My grandmother was in the same situation before her passing. It was the little things we did to make her comfortable she enjoyed. This was your little thing you did to make her comfortable and that is really cool

A ship can’t sail on yesterdays wind. Your Grandma knowing you cared each day for her was her treasure.

Sorry for your family loss.

Sorry I am so late getting to this Mike. I wasn’t quite sure what to say when I first read it and seen all the emotion involved in it. To be honest the little things like this seem to choke me up from time to time. You can’t really explain the pride, respect, and love that we poor into our work when it is being created for someone we love and care for. I remember handing over my first real keepsake to my brides Grandfather. I built it to recognize two great people who stood the test of time by being married for almost 60 years. I named the project “Triumph” in acknowledging it. The cold fact was I had a really hard time holding back the tears when I gave it to him. ...... You simply cant put a value on work we do when it is from the heart….

Mike I really like this piece. With her loving humming birds and such a placement in the stock just makes the whole piece. Of course the scroll work is perfect (as it always is…lol).

You done good with this one Mike. I am sorry about your family’s loss…..
