Friends are honoring Evan Kamida (and his family) by photographing flowers on swingsets. Evan loved to swing, and Vicki wrote a piece about Evan, swinging, motherhood, and lots of other things you can read for yourself in an essay for Literary Mama, called “The Mother at the Swings.”
Jennifergg writes about the tribute here. Another, “To Vicki Forman” here, and Christa’s here.
Post your photos to this flickr group. (You must join the group to add your own picture.)

I’ll never look at swings the same way again after having known Evan.
We love you Cliff, Vicki, Josie and Evan.

The essay is such a moving read. It made me focus on memories of my own daughter and son.

I will place some flowers at my children’s favorite playground swings this week…what a beautiful gesture this tribute is.
