Flowers and Swings for Evan

To remember Evan Kamida, here’s a small and lovely thing to do: Take a photo of flowers at a swingset and post it to this Flickr pool. Shannon Des Roches Rosa and Jennifer Graf Gronenberg have posted more information.
Here’s Charlie’s swings, with an orange flower for Evan.
The swings are on a playground on the part of the Jersey shore where we go every year, and that is the place where Charlie is most at home. He’s had many, many a ride on those swings and we’ve had many a meal, with family and with friends, on that very picnic table, with a view of the bay, so peaceful, so lovely.

I have never been to a Memorial or even a Funeral before. My neighbor explained it to me earlier and I might be able to attend the Memorial tomorrow AM.
I went to the Memorial, was in the foyer with the standing crowd and then there was the Earthquake at 11:42. I left Memorial at 12:30 to go to kids camp and make sure they okay. Director said they all went outside afterwards and ok. In car I heard it was 5.8 and changed to 5.4. Very beautiful memorial with memories shared from teachers, caregivers, parents of classmates, etc. And the photo montage was really touching.
Standing in front of me was my son Matthew’s OT and Dietitian. I guess we shared the same therapists.
@Bonnie, thank you so much for writing about this.
big sigh.
