The weeds in the ditch were growing up around the dried flowers and white cross that made up half of the memorial. The second half was a droopy pink Care Bear locked in a bird cage, perhaps in an attempt to lock in the spirit of a loved one lost.
I think it was Love-a-lot Bear.

oh no :( those roadside memorials are the saddest. especially when you know it's in memoriam of a child.
i agree with B. so sad. i always say a quick prayer when i pass one on the road.
It is totally sad. I hope I did not come across as too glib. I always wonder what happened and I hope the family is ok.
When we were first entering Idaho, along the highway I counted 36 little white crosses, in the span of 1-2 hours of driving. Each seemed to have different flowers and ribbons, and sometimes there were 2 crosses in a spot. It kind of wierd-ed me out for a while, like it was an especially deadly stretch of road. Dave & I decided that it must be a subtle anti-drunk driving campaign, since the crosses were so uniform and all looked rather new.
