This beautifully written piece evokes a powerful connection between memory, nature, and the act of creation. Marcia's experience of planting a mulberry tree in memory of her family is deeply emotional, blending nostalgia with a sense of loss. The tree, which symbolizes the growth of love and family, mirrors her own journey of building a home filled with memories. Her emotional response to cutting it down two years later speaks to the grief of letting go, even when it’s necessary.

How did this personal experience shape your views on memory and emotional attachment to spaces?
