While in Bowling Green, we stopped by a special place. The eldest son of one of my childhood friends had drowned in a freak swimming accident in the river near here. He was only 24. He was also my daughter-in-law's best friend when they were growing up and she wanted to visit the spot again. There was only one tree with its leaves still on it. It was a maple that the young man's family had planted as a memorial. Oh, and my youngest grandson shares his name. Lots of memories in a simple image.

Jeff, I've read your touching narrative. Good that the family has planted the maple on this spot so that it has become now a tangible reminder of this tragedy. Captured very well again.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
