I like the idea of your brother's ashes and bones transmuted into something lovely and growing, back into the cycle of life. I had a daughter who dies when she was one month old. Now grass grows from a spot where her ashes were buried in front of a stone church faraway in North Carolina. But I don't think of her as there. She's in my heart. And somewhere in the air, hovering in the invisble space between heartbeats. I think what you’ve done is wonderful.
