The forecast for the next few days is rain (of course that could always change) so I thought I would stop by the cemetery after I picked up Kyndra to check and see if her marker was up yet. It was nice at the moment so I figured it would be a good time. I had hopes it would be there, but yet again, I was disappointed.
The foundation is set and ready to go. They filled in some more dirt on her grave where it had sunken in a little bit. Yet, her marker is still not there! Why is it taking so long!? It's been 8 1/2 weeks since she's been gone and it was only supposed to be 4-6 weeks. I think I've been pretty patient about it but now I'm starting to get a little irritated.
I guess I'll check again later in the week.

I can imagine what a disappointment that would be each time, and it is not there! Can you call someone and ask what is taking so long?!?!? Hopefully it is up soon----can't wait to see it!
I'm sorry that it is still not up. Maybe it is almost ready as the only put the foundation down last week and then we had a long holiday weekend. Maybe the plan is to have it up by the end of this week? I hope so. I also can't wait to see the pictures of it once it is up.
Hey Holly, sorry the stone has not been set yet, I know you are ready for it.
Also I used to work at a funeral home with a cemetery and we set headstones and the general rule for us was the ground had to totally dry before we could set a headstone. If the ground was wet we ran the risk on tearing the cemetery up with our truck. Those stones are so heavy they have to be brought with a truck with a crane type thing on it to lift the stone and set it on the foundation.
Anyways I hope the rain will quit soon so it can go up!! ((hugs))
Nicole mommy to Logan.
Sorry to hear it's not up yet. I remember when my father passed away I thought they would never get it done. Hoping it's soon for all of you. Take care & Thinking of you HUGS Caroline
Yes they are as slow as your memory box maker....wait that is me........just make sure Anthony has kept up with his weightlifting because it is heavier than I had planned.......it ended up being made out of quartersawn red oak and cedar.......I bought the red oak months and months ago with no plan for it...just bought it casue I love quartersawn oak....I guess I know now why I was drawn to it.
"Good things come to those who wait". Who said that???? I know it is sooo hard to wait.... I have a hard time waiting for things too.
But sweet Holly,... it will come,... and I hope it will be all that you wanted it to be, to mark the memory of your sweet Carleigh.
Prayers!

I hope you do not have to wait much longer. Maybe give a call or ask someone to call for you. ((hugs))
