diamondsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goal I have this life goal of mine. Other than reaching the kingdom of Heaven, that is. I want to make an impact in this world. I want to make a difference. I want to change things for the better. And when I leave this world, I want to have made enough of an impact that someone dedicates a tree in my memory. I want a tree that someone can sit underneath with a good book and a glass of lemonade. A tree that blossoms in the early spring and provides a shady escape in the summer. There's a donor tree project at Allerton Park right now. There are eight trees left. After they have all been sponsored, I want to sit under each tree and enjoy the memory, the occassion, the gift for an evening. I want to soak up the story of each tree, one leaf at a time. The woman I spoke to about the program told me that this can be done at any time. She told me about a recent donation. A man and his family dedicated a tree to the park in honor of his wife's birthday. On her birthday they all had a picnic under the tree, and the woman just cried and cried tears of joy. Yeah. I'd like that. 11:42 p.m. - June 06, 2007 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
