I garden through my grief on this day and am thankful for it. I picked up some beautiful pink petunia's and set to getting them potted out back - the above pic is just to the right of where I showed those 2 memorial angels in a pic here yesterday.
Pink has seemed to be the color theme of the flowers in this section since before last year and I decided to keep it that way. I feel it's B telling me what she'd like there (I've asked her in the past) and it's a comfort to me to see the pink flowers. The pink Bleeding Heart bush is nearly past full bloom and soon the pink Roses will start to bloom. Then there are the pink Petunia's and the pink Begonia's soon to be potted. It's one of my favorite colors and I think hers too!

Holli, I wish you did too and I hope he is still taking care of it for her. Maybe once you're settled (again!) you can do something similar for your daughter too! I think it would be wonderful for you both. (Gardening in TX though is a hole other beast because of the dry hot weather nearly year round so do a lot of research before planting shrubs, plants or flowers!)
I have been thinking of you and the memory of B every time I see a pink flower, which is often because I have a ton of pink snapdragons out back. They were my favorites when I was a little girl.
