When my brother passed away earlier this year, he worked some magic from the other side to hijack my friends' emails and somehow "planted" the idea to get a tree planted in his memory.
Later, in a dream,
he showed me where to have the tree planted.
In May, we had a huge picnic out at Brian's Tree and the day was thoroughly enjoyed by many of our friends and family. You can see some beautiful pictures of that day by going to my friend Karen's website, Gorgeous photos of a wonderful day!
Last week, Mom and I took an impromptu trip out to the park again.
We met up with Anne and Eli and fed some animals at the zoo!
Then, we headed out to Brian's Tree.
It's a little dogwood, planted next to a stream, with LOTS of big trees and all sorts of FUN spots to play!
Mom and I found our spot...
A big rock, that doubled as our picnic table.
The twins had a blast.
Mom and I relaxed.
We watched the twins.
We admired Brian's tree.
And we were grateful.
That he chose this spot.
Just for us.
Just for these reasons!
We miss you, B!
I'll never stop missing you.
But my face and my insides light up with joy
when I think of you
on the Other Side
basking in your peace and contentment.
Love ya, baby!
And THANKS for the Special Place!
