the best christmas gift

the best gift we got this year was actually from the cemetery. Odd as it sounds.

We have been waiting and waiting and waiting very patiently for Sami's gravestone to be finished and put up since September. First they told us it will take 4-6 weeks. Then they told us 2 more weeks and kept on pushing it forward in time.

I last spoke to them in mid December and were then told that the place which makes the gravestone was shut down for Christmas. I had to wait until January to call again. Hearing that made me very very upset - for reasons I'm not all sure about. I believe Sami is in heaven, so it really should not matter if there is a place with his name on at a cemetery here. But it does.

We made a temporary solution so the grave got a name and was decorated for Christmas.

Now yesterday on Christmas day we went up to the cemetery to put up some flowers. And to our great surprise. The gravestone was finished and put up. It looked so nice and totally made our day.
