Description

Every year I add a new stone to Jamie's Cairn. Every year I rebuild it from scratch so that each layer continues to be interesting and new because I never want to cease seeing it. I think about Jamie as I rebuild his Cairn. I remember when he was born, birthday parties, diving in the Keys, Christmas, and the Easter purple egg hunt. I think about the things we have missed sharing with him especially all the weddings and babies. He would have loved being part of these happy events in our lives. He was gone to soon and yet we hold onto him tightly because we love and miss him so.
I keep Jamie's Cairn by my front door amongst the plants. He gets the early morning sun each day, hangs out with the bromeliads, and listens to the lilting wind chimes softly ringing nearby. Next year I'll move him to a different step or change his companions but he will still be here, growing another stone higher and staying alive in our hearts.
