He Got To Work
He took the crib to the workshop and got to work. There were unfinished benches on the walls and pieces of wood on the floor. He also had an ATV made of PVC pipes, one of his most ambitious projects, in the room. Now retired, he spent his days working away in this space. It was time to work on the crib, so he cut, measured, nailed, and painted it as needed. Once he was done, he was happy with the result.

A Memorial For Him
With his skills, he was able to turn it into a gorgeous bench. No one would have guessed that it had a dark past. Gerald transformed it into a loving ode to a life that was taken far too soon. He thought that it was a good tribute to the baby that Victoria lost. “An unused crib is a sad reminder,” he said. “A bench is more of a memorial. It’s part of that sad happening, yet it’s not a reminder like an empty crib would be.”
