After moving to sunny San Jose I have been contemplating on doing something for my son who passed away five years ago. One of my new friends from my volunteer suggested that I plant a tree on the anniversary date of his death. This is the year that I picked to plant that tree. It took us a few days going from one nursery to another to figure out what tree I would pick. Jeff reads all the instructions and I just go around looking for some sort of sign. On June 29th was our last day to check out Almaden Nursery. We went around a couple of times and there it was, the Dwarf Alberta Spruce. That evening, Jeff went to the backyard and he planted the tree while I watch. Something is still missing so next month I am going to make a stepping stone that I will design and include some special art and last minute details. This marker will be placed in front of the tree on my son's birth date.
