You are not crazy. You are very sweet and a testament to your mom. She raised a really good daughter. May I suggest planting a beautiful tree in her honor and memory in your yard? Put a cute little bench by the tree. Make it a beautiful memorial to the memories of your mom. Place fresh flowers by it for special occasions or when you are just thinking of her. Go out there and "talk" to her. Your mom is in your genes ... your soul. She is a part of you honey, forever. She is undoubtedly very proud of you. She lives on in you ... remember that.

Memorial Day weekend
So what fun things do you guys have planned for the long weekend?  
I have to work.  
Anyone think Nick is going to walk into his own memorial service?

Definitely understand that - you shouldn't have to have your property be forever a memorial! (sm)
you were VERY kind to leave it there and take care of it for six months. So ridiculous that people gave you a hard time. I'm sorry that happened to you! Bad enough that you have to know something so awful happened in front of your home without a constant reminder and strangers coming up to your house all the time. And it is not your job to maintain it for them. If the family understood, then certainly no one else should have any say whatsoever.

i made a memorial site for my mom for my sister and my grandmother a few years ago. sm
neither were cremated, but mom wanted a memorial. we took a spot in her back yard and made a rose garden out of it. we planted several rose bushes. i got some of those make your own stones from hobby lobby. it is like cement that you pour into the mold. i then wrote in the cement before it dried their names at the bottom and in loving memory of at the top. decorated the stones up with some heart gems. these are in the middle of the rose flower bed. we also got her a covered canopy bench to sit next to it. everyone in the family loves to go there. just FYI there is a rose that is a red and white mixture rose that is called the love rose and this is the very center of our "memorial". i can't recall the name and it was very hard to locate. this was several years ago and the roses are growing pretty than ever.
