I love the idea of planting a tree in honor of someone I love. When my mom passed away, we wanted something more meaningful and lasting than just flowers that would soon fade away. She had always loved a Robert Frost poem about the woods that are "lovely, dark and deep". It seemed so fitting to bring new trees into the world, to grow into new woods for the future. Kim set up a custom grove for my mom, and now, somewhere in the beautiful Tahoe area, there is new life springing up, in memory of a wonderful woman who lived a strong and beautiful life. This makes me happy.
