if you havent read this yet, what Aaron's friends have said about him, i think you really should. I don't tend to cry much but the words they shared about him have brought me completely to tears which i am wiping off my face as i type this.
My friend said that everywhere Aaron went, he planted trees. I imagine these seeds planted in our hearts and minds. They will sprout, and they will grow into giant strong trees with deep roots built to weather the many battles that lie ahead on this burning planet. They will remain upright, like Aaron did, until they no longer can, but by then their own seeds will have been planted in the hearts of our loved ones, and they will grow into trees as well. They will continue this struggle until the beautiful world that Aaron knew we deserved is born.
I don't think this quote is ever going to leave me, and i hope you take the time to let it stay with you too.
