Yesterday morning we planted Landon's memorial tree at Jackrabbit park. We picked a Sissoo tree (it is spelled many different ways). I loved being a part of the planting of his tree, and I'm happy that so many family members were able to make it out there to help. This is another memory we now have of Landon, some place that we can visit and remember him. There will be a plaque next to the tree, that will take about 3 weeks to arrive. We were able to pick what was written on the plaque. There was so much I wanted to write, but not enough room. Charlie and I decided on this:

LANDON JACOB

A LIFE SO BRIEF, A CHILD SO SMALL

YOU HAD THE POWER TO TOUCH US ALL.

JUNE 11, 2008 - AUGUST 7, 2008

I am so happy that we were given this gift, its something that I would not have thought of on my own. Landon was so special to so many people, and this is another special memory we will always have.
