find a way to buy a headstone for my father

My uncle and aunt ended up doing it. This makes me feel like a bit of a failure. I did contribute some funds to the project, though. 3 years ago

I actually had a conversation about this with my uncle last week. It looks like he and my aunt are thinking in this direction, too. I may be able to split the cost with him, though yet again it seems like he wants to do it and leave me out of it. Even in my father’s death I’m to have no part. I haven’t had the money to do it. I just got my car replaced, but if I’d had the funds before, I would have done it. It’s been a hard year financially. 5 years ago

And I realize that it won’t cost as much as I thought to get a grave marker that is similar to the one my mom has. It will run from $650-$1000. For some reason, I envisioned it being two or three times that. That’s actually very doable as long as I save my cash. Maybe within a year? I could also talk to my uncle and see if he’d go halfsies with me. Since the price isn’t so bad, maybe he would/could. 5 years ago

My grandmother bought my mother’s, but my grandmother is dead now, and I don’t know if any of my father’s relatives have plans to buy one for him. I should probably speak to my uncle about this to learn more, but I feel that it is my responsibility as his only daughter to take care of this. He deserves a beautiful memorial because he was a beautiful, loving, nurturing man. I don’t know where I’ll get the money, but I must somehow. 5 years ago
