The Memory Garden

A family remembers an old dog through specific ordinary moments and plants one living memorial together.

The story, beat by beat
  1. Say what happened

    The garden did not replace Sunny. It gave their remembering somewhere to grow.

  2. Name what is missed
  3. Remember one ordinary thing
  4. Plant and revisit

The character, held steady

The family remembers their golden dog through a photo, smooth stones, and white flowers.

The approved direction

The words live in the page layout, not inside the artwork — so you can fix a sentence later without touching the illustration.
