Pleasant Reminders
Seeing a loved one’s name preserved in stone or metal can be an emotional experience. It is a symbol that your loved one has also contributed to a greater good. Inspiration can be gleaned from knowing that someone with whom you shared a special bond has also served forces larger than themselves. It is also just plain nice to know someone you cared about has not been forgotten.
Bronze plaques touting accomplishments and found in an attic can also be wonderful reminders. They allow us to take stock of some of the motivating passions of special people we’ve been lucky enough to know.
What’s most special about these representations of people is their permanence. It suggests that these accomplishments and donations will live on well beyond the lives of our friends, families and even ourselves. Engraving feels incredibly permanent when so few things are. To know that several of your greatest accomplishments might hang from a wall in a beautiful building or occupy a frame over the fire place as a memorial plaque wonderful gift and a tangible manifestation of legacy.
