The Portion of my Inheritance

The Ginkgo tree was the perfect choice. Known for it’s medicinal properties for memory enhancement, this has become the memory tree . . . .

The Papa tree.

Gone is the year of firsts. This hard year now lays behind us as we all come together, those who loved him best, and most, to celebrate his earth birthday and his brand new spiritual birthday. Hot dogs, bought by Papa just days before he left us, with the intent that we would come together for a cookout, birthday cake, children playing and family laughter was just exactly what he wanted.

Part of the celebration was the planting of the Papa tree, and the placing of the cross.

Tucked in the corner of the backyard at Papa’s house sits the reminder, and each grand baby took a turn pounding in the stake that would hold the wooden cross.

And he would have loved this, for these were what he treasured most!

In loving memory of Papa

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. Revelation 32:4
