Terence has been gardening lately, digging up the backyard and re-sowing the lawn. Around the end part of garden there is a wood sleeper retaining wall which I was standing on when I remembered Kayleigh helping build it.
Originally the wood was part of a cubby house/fort that Terence was building for the kids, but we had to take it down. The wood that we were using become the retaining wall. Kayleigh helped her dad with moving all the wood into position. I remember her excitement in drilling guiding holes for the coaching bolts and then bashing them in. I remember her smile as it came together and helping her dad push all the soil behind them before helping her dad lay the Canturf that made the lawn and plant the Japanese Maples that went around the edge.
When Terence was re-doing the backyard, you could see that he was remembering those times by his body language - it's hard sometimes doing some thing because we miss her so much.
