I made this:
Then I made one for each of my living children as a gift.
Then I made several as gifts; including a few that were memorials.
I decided I wanted to make one for myself that is a memorial to Zachary.
I made this list of words:
- son
- grandson
- brother
- uncle
- artist
- musician
- thespian
- Macbeth
- Spiderman
- gentle
- loving
- giving
- gothic
- gamer
Then I asked a handful of people to give me the first three words that came to their mind when they think of Zachary. The words that they sent to me were so beautiful. I only wish Zachary could see just what and how much he meant to others.
This is the list of words from the people I asked:
- infectious-personality
- compassionate
- understanding
- adventurous
- free-spirit
- easy-going
- passionate
- accepting
- different
- hilarious
- long-hair
- quirky
- skinny
- unique
- black
- purple
- drama
- funny
- gamer
- goofy
- loyal
- gone
- goth
- kind
I am working on a shadowbox but sadly, I cannot fit all of those words in. I do intend to tape a copy of the list to the back of the box so I will remember all of them. Thank you to the people who took the time to share their Zachary words with me. When I finish the shadowbox I will post a picture.
