Mathew's Memory Tree
yesterday was a day filled with many emotions...we met with the Mayor of St. Albert, his assistant who is a former parent of the school, the principal of JJ Nearing, one of Mathew's best freinds and her mother and a landscaper who had contacted us following my article in the newspaper about the destruction of Mathew's tree...it was a great meeting!
we came up a bunch of ideas and we are in the process of making the area in front of the school in a park tribute to Mathew, the school and the community....the Mayor has committed to helping us with doing planting and to making this a community affair complete with acknowledgement about the space (what a kind heart)
as i sat in the room and moved to tears by the amazing things that were offered...i was humbled by the impact that my little boy had on so many people and continues to do so...as i watched his little friend Alexie shed tears for her friend who now is in heaven and the tears of the staff from the school, it amazed me further what a huge impact he had on so many people and that he will never be forgotten...i am truly honoured to be his mommy and am looking forward to working on "his park"
