That is an awesome story and a very nice tree! When my wife and I lived at our old house I planted a small tree to hopefully one day give the house shade from the West side in the evenings. We ended up moving and I often wonder how my tree is doing. Is it still okay or did the new owners tear it out.
Thanks and I can relate to that, I planted a tree at my parents house and before I stopped flying every time i went back to NZ I would drive by the house I grew up in to see if the tree was still there and it always was :)
