i wanted to share my latest tributes to my little isa. the first stone is a little plaque omar and i made to dedicate the orchard we planted in our backyard. we planted a peach tree, a red delicious apple tree, a honeycrisp apple tree and lastly, a dwarf cherry tree. we will plant a pear tree and a nectarine tree in the spring. the plaque sits at the base of the dwarf cherry tree which is in the middle and is the smallest (and i'm hoping the pinkest). we planted it with babou's 3-year-old dreads that existed only as long as isa did. it feels really good to have the orchard. i have a place to go to visit her now, that is really close. the second stone is at the picnic ground outside of empire where we had her memorial. i used fingernail polish to paint her name on a river rock. not sure how long it will last, but i feel like a part of her spirit is there, even though she never went there while alive.
not sure how much more tribute i can pay to her. it always falls short of having her here with me.
