Windchime

Windchime

Review by Lyndee:

There are many things that come to mind when I think of loved ones I have lost but there are two people in particular that always come to mind when I see butterflies or hear wind chimes.  Every time I hear a windchime blowing in a soft breeze I think of days spent at Robert and Donna’s.  Now, in the 3 years since his passing, every time I hear that beautiful noise I think of Grandpa Robert in heaven and that he is saying hello.  When I see a butterfly, I think of my cousin Kirk. 

I’ve been keeping an eye out for a windchime I could turn into a project recently.  I found one the other day at Dollar General. It was marked down to $3 but I didn’t realize until I checked out that it was clearance more and was only 90 cents!  Hello bargain, come home with me please!  I bought the windchime which was a little cheesy but I knew I could make it work. 

I kept the dangling butterfly for Kirk and added a picture of Robert’s 4020 tractor parked in front of the church the morning of his funeral.  This way, when I hear my windchimes I will be able to think of both of them and smile.  It’s a priceless joy that cost me less than a dollar and took about 2 minutes to do.
