The Dove
One Dove
As part of the Pet Memorial Sunday celebration with Chartiers Custom Pet Cremation, a small flock of white doves is released to symbolize letting our animal companions go. We each touched the first white dove, then it was released from the hands of its handler.
The doves begin their journey.
The doves circle around a few times, then circle overhead, in the sky.

Every bird on these trees represents a promise to a child for gifts this holiday season.
I haven’t been in a mall in probably a decade, and was only in this one for the sake of setting up a holiday art exhibit. The simply beauty of these trees stopped me in my tracks and brought tears to my eyes; I didn’t even need to know why the birds all had tags, I just knew it represented the generosity of several hundred people. And it was only December 2.
It made the trip to a mall worth it.
