I managed to finally find a shadow box for a reasonable price. I’ve been looking for quite a while. I got some wall shelves, as well. So I can move the books and some of the other clutter. Soon, I’ll have some free space to set up a mini-memorial for my little Sophie.
In the shadow box, I will put her paw print plaque. I had some photos printed to put in there, as well. And I will put her collar and name tag.
Even though this has taken some time, I know I’ll cry putting it together. I cry at the slightest thing. The empty room when I come home. The empty space under the table when we get food. The silence at the doorbell. I miss her cuddles in the morning. Such a sweet soul.
I’ll post pictures when it’s completed. I may add tributes to my late twin as well. Perhaps it will be finished for Dia de los Muertos this year. We’ll see. in the meantime, here is an old photo of Sophie.
