Tree With No Name

Blog Posted:4/30/2014 6:24:00 AM

My daughter and family planted a small tree just outside the window of our bedroom right after Jon passed away 3 years ago today.

I think they told me what kind of tree it is but for the life of me I cannot remember. The grandkids helped plant it for Grampa.

It is a small delicate tree with pink buds coming out today.

Each Spring the tree blooms to a lovely burst of color letting us know that Spring is in the air giving us hope of the miracle of a new day.

Even though Jon is gone from my side he still lives within my heart and every day that passes I realize how lucky I was to have had him for the time I was given.

Life is so very precious but our memories live on forever
