Max got a special gathering, where friends and family that have missed him as dearly as we have and supported us through his absence, met to honor him. We grouped up at our house and then walked to Green Lake park where a tree has been planted in his name. This tree was just recently planted, coordinated by friends and a wonderful surprise to us, so the timing was perfect. When we got to his tree, we released balloons to the heavens that had special messages to our little guy. The weather held out just long enough for us to make it down and back to the house.
It was a beautiful day and one that will never be forgotten. We truly appreciate everyone that supports our family through all means and are blessed to have such great friends and family.
Here are some photos taken by Papa Reed of our trip to Max's tree:
After a long parade, we made it to Max's tree, shared some words for Max and for our friends and family and sent his balloons off to him
Then we headed back home for some cupcakes
Here's a photo of Max's tree's first bloom, courtesy of a friend. It is a Cornus Nuttallii, or Pacific Dogwood to the layman.
And for anyone wanting to go pay a visit, you can find his tree at the location below. The tag will be gone soon, but it is the only young tree in the area.
