In 2005 on Darrell's birthday - November 18th - we planted a tree out front of our house on Wells Street in Renton. The idea was for it to provide shade (eventually) because the house faced west and in the summer the sun would beat in to the upstairs bedroom windows and it could get incredibly hot, too hot to sleep.

We sold the house in 2007 and moved to Seattle. We've gone back a few times to take his picture with the tree as it grows up.

We went back today, on his birthday, and we were surprised. The tree might almost be tall enough now to shade the house.
