In Buddhist tradition, the 100th-day memorial is prominent after the 49th-day memorial. (I wrote about what we did for Kula for 49th-Day Memorial here)
Kulas Albums with 214 photos in 84 pages.
We express our affection and gratitude to Kula—who departed on August 1, 2016—in a natural manifestation of untainted and pure emotion. This is an occasion for sincere and deep reflection on life and death.
The 100th-day memorial is a time to sort out clothing and other items that belonged to the deceased and share them with others, sending gratitude to family and friends. After 100 days, you are supposed to stop crying.
I washed Kula’s collar, towels, and bed and gave them to other dogs.
I decided to send Kula’s 49th-day memorial cards—with my calligraphy and art envelopes—to family and friends who could not come.
That took time, but I completed!
Sending Kula’s card with my calligraphy and art envelopes.
I feel Kula’s existence every day, but I felt it, even more, when I celebrated her 100th-day memorial. I practiced yoga felt Kula that morning so strongly and my tears came down as missing her…
We went to the beach restaurant where we used to go with Kula.
It was a warm day, even though it is November, so there was no parking by the beach. I called to Kula and asked her to find parking, and she gave us a perfect parking spot in a second. We knew Kula was an angle, but now she is also a parking angel!
Eric & Happy at the beach
We decided to take Happy along with us since Happy has received the most influence from Kula since they walked together everyday for a few years; we went to the water after dinner and called to Kula!
Kula loved the beach so much, and we went to the beach with her for many years…we felt that she was there enjoying herself even now.
We thank Kula for her life and memories.
Kula’s favorite plumeria flowers are still blooming this year!
With love and Kula’s favorite plumeria flowers (even November they are still blooming this year),
