D, your story touches my heart,…my mother-in-law also collected angels, we have that in common. How nice of your father-in-law to notice and add to your angel garden. It’s not difficult to imagine the angels above looking down upon it. Best wishes!

I remembered how much she had loved angels… matter of fact we had gotten her one as a gift for her backyard in the last year of her life. Since then I have made gardens in my own backyard here. I started buying an angel once a year to add to my collection in memory of her.. so there are little angels of different sorts..running throughout my gardens out back. A year or so ago.. my father law.. surprised me and touched my heart..when he told me to go get her angel..the one we had given to her before she passed.. from his old home..which his son now has.. and take it home to my gardens .. it deserved to be seen and she deserved to be remembered. I love that garden..it wraps three sides of my stone patio…. with angels everywhere.. including that particular one. I find such comfort and so many memories sitting out back in that garden and I am so glad that I made it to remember a terrific lady.

I’m sorry for your loss, Kim. How nice to have a place to sit and remember,…one that blooms and renews itself as the seasons do. So comforting a place to acknowledge the briefest of lives…
Gem magnolias are stunningly beautiful..

It has a Little Gem Magnolia that blooms reliably every year, a bench to sit on and a plaque to honor him. So comforting to us all.
