It took roughly six weeks for the plaque to be installed. His ashes rest in the highest row, closest to the sky. It is difficult to reach; I had to stretch for my fingertips to brush the lowest part of the granite cover. I had to stretch a little further to touch the surface and hear small echos drum out from behind the stone.
So many have joined you this year, Dad. But for those of us still here, we now have a place to meet your memory and raise a glass.
