Memories with mom:
I remember when her dad died back in 02, he had gotten so many flowers we could not fit them all in the viewing room. Because it was a military cemetery we could one bring one floral arrangement. My mom would go on and on about how much a waste of money they were.
Ever since then, when someone past she would plant trees in their honor. And send the person a hand written card with the certificate. This is why her obituary asked for you to plant a tree in her honor.
I found out yesterday, that it is tradition to plant trees in Israel when someone passes.
I wish I could call her to tell her that she was right all these years in what she did.
Mama made it to the holy land before I did. (We were talking about my dreams and one of them is for me to go to Israel one day).
Oh how she deserves it!!!! Enjoy the holiest of holy land mama!
