Happy Earth Day Everyone. Every Earth Day since 1994 is the Anniversary of my dad’s passing. Each year I plant a tree for Earth day and in memory of my dad. My grandparents owned a 24 acre wooded piece of property that they gave to my dad and now my brother and I own it. It is called Bradley Branches and the Bradley’s that have passed rest there. Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, many of my parents pets as well as my pets rest there as well. Nellie will be the next pet of mine to be laid to rest with the other loved ones.
Go out and enjoy this Earth Day and please respect it, it’s the only one we have and if we don’t take care of it we won’t have it.
It is such a beautiful memorial. I love that you plant a tree every year in your Dad’s memory. You are so blessed to have that property in your family, keeping everyone together.
Absolutely gorgeous! Truly beautiful tribute to your Dad, and to all those family members – both human and non-human – who rest there. As Jan said, you and your brother are so blessed to have that property.
What a beautiful spot and such a lovely way to remember your Dad
What a wonderful place to honor and visit with your loved ones who have left. Enjoy Earth Day ♥
I cannot think of a BETTER way to honor your Dad (and I am so deeply sorry), each year, than to plant a tree in his memory. That is such a beautiful thing to do! (((hugs)))
We love this annual tribute for your dad. No doubt he’s smiling down at you for your stewardship of mother earth. Well done! ?
When my mom passed we picked out a cherrywood casket and as part of that, they replanted a tree.
