Today, they tore out the trees at my dad's old house. A part of me was happy to see that big tree go, because it always gives me such terrible spring allergies. A larger part of me was sad. My mom loved looking at that tree. The last time my mom went outside for a picture was in April 2006, to get a picture by the tree.

Taken April 4th 2006, she passed away on May 7th 2006).
(This is what was left of the tree this morning)
One nice thing is that we have a beautiful view of the mountains right now...until they put the 6 new houses on that lot.
Miss you mom. Always. Every day.
