Touching base with you

I wanted to write a quick note to tell you all that I did, in fact, purchase the trees.  And while the trees are incredible, the experience I had purchasing the trees, was not.  In fact, in the end, I wished that I did not buy the trees from where I bought them, at all.  Even though it seemed as though they were meant to be.

The story is so long and detailed that I wonder if I would even be able to properly write about the entire experience, but I will try, although not right now.   The experience made me very sad and not just because I was purchasing trees trying to honor our sons who are not with us, but because the person I dealt with was, well, not a nice person.

In the end, the trees are planted, my mom and I worked on the landscaping all day long and everything looks wonderful.  Our day yesterday was good, memorable, significant.  Your e-mails, comments, the cards, the flowers and other amazing things that people in our lives did for us yesterday were beautiful and meant so much. Although yesterday was a day of such sadness, the sun rays were beautiful and plentiful.  And they felt so, so good.
