      That's a great idea and to add my own little flare to it I'd get a board and paint that persons name on it and either make something so I could close by the tree like stilts for it to stand on and when someone asked explain yeah so I named this tree Sam cause I planted it in his honor! Just a little extra for them, me, and if I were to have to move away the next family would know and explain to the next family, person, or couple would know and hopefully keep trying to do it for their lost love ones wether it be just family or even add friends and possibly even family pets wow that would make an orchard of fruit trees or a really huge forest but hey gives new meaning to family orchard/forest but I bet it'd be nice!

    When my Dad died, I couldn’t help thinking about his life and how it left an impact on my family and this earth. It dawn on me that every person who met my dad, had a little or a lot of his essence spread to them. Later in life my Dad tried to be a kind man and love people with generous time given to them. The essence of your father was spread to every person who he met in his life and the kindness he’d shown to you is now in your children. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and we are beginning our winter. The ground is frozen. In the spring I always plant a new tree for my father but this spring I will also plant a tree for your father cause I know my Dad ( who was also a Military man) would’ve like your dad.
    May god’s mantle of love, cloak and bless your family, Justin.

      A very kind gesture! My dad was born in Wymark! Then was moved to Ontario where I was born. My mother said she makes a gift for someone every Christmas because when my grandmother died, she needed to fill that void somehow. I never knew this till yesterday. I will do this starting NOW! I've lost a brother, grandparents and I love this idea.
      Tree planting is a wonderful, earth/living creature benefit!

We who have also lost parents weep with understanding right along with you. Hold on Justin this is the time for weeping and deep reflection. Though you cannot see the good ahead so clearly, know that it is there. May God be with you all.

You touched on the fact, as in nature, something dies, but something grows from that. I can see you're focusing on life growing from death... Nature doesn't stop my friend #doingitforboots. You're inspirational and have given me focus on my grieving and getting me to fix my lack of action. Thank you, love to you and the Fam. appreciate you

    You're a part of my family since I started to follow your inspiring stories. I'm so sorry for your loss indeed...I felt as if I lost one of my beloved ones when I saw your video title...that's true life has joy and sorrow, not happy end everyday...but you have so many friends in all states and around the world who shares your loss and are just next to you even though miles away like me...I wish I could come by and hug you and stay with you during these tough days...I'll keep you and your dad in my prayers... btw I believe plants and animals have feelings like us, maybe stronger than us...I think their acting out today is a kind of sign that they also do feel sorry about your loss and express their emotions by acting unusual. God bless you and your beloved family...

    My dad died 19 years ago, and the grief washed over and through me every day for the first month. I grieved for a full year after that in silence, but one day, a bit over a year later it struck me hard one day as I drove home from work. I had stopped at a red light when it hit me, and froze me. The traffic behind me blew their horns until I could dry my tears and move on. Grief catches us all when we least expect it, when we think we are done with it. We are never done with it, grief just morphs into whatever we need it to be in order to survive the sadness of losing a parent. Losing my dad? Perhaps not, since I sometimes still feel his presence near me. I will plant a tree for Boots in the spring. He was pure gold.

    20 trees planted - #DoinItForBoots. You and your family inspire us so much and are one of the reason we recently purchased our own 20 acres of land in AZ to start a homestead. We have just begun clearing our land, but the first tree we plant will be in honor of "Boots".

    I've been watching the Team Trees page, and wondered who Boots must have been that everyone was commenting about. Glad I tried to find out more. You have a wonderful community who supports you so much!

    When my Dad passed in 1999 at 60 yrs. old, some people told me life will never be the same again. They were right. The 'first' thing is spot on. Everything you share brings hard memories back and I completely understand how you feel. Crying with you every time. ❤Time eases the harsh pain but the absence of their presence is always noticeable. I pray the Lord's sweet comfort over you all. You are blessed beyond measure. You are loved. I just wanted to add a special blessing for Jonah, your right hand man...what a wonderful partner you have there. You are blessed indeed! ❤

    I’m going to plant many trees in Boots’ name. Thank you for letting the fans grieve with you and your family. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning...some morning.

    I lost my last parent a year ago, and your VLOGs have helped me finally grieve for my abusive father, who died years ago, and finally forgive him. Thank you so much.

    I was getting ready for work one day when my dad called to tell me my mom took her own life and I needed to come home. She was only 52, I was 32. That was 30 years ago. It still hurts. God bless

      Time does not take away the sorrow of loss. I so sorry that you lost your mom in that way. 💔 I was 17 when my dad suddenly died. It was rough! I still miss him to! And he's been residing in heaven for 30 years now. Strangest feeling when my mom left us to join dad in heaven. I was sad.,.but she was so ready to go too. I am am orphan now. I have my husband, my children and my grand children. I have my siblings. I loved by good friends.... But I have no parents now.....
