Have you noticed the Cottonwood trees lining Highway 395, just south of the Nevada border? They are stunning in their fall color, so I had to stop on the way home from Mono Lake.
Henry Dickson’s daughter had a handicap; her freedom was afternoon buggy rides. To protect her from the sun, Henry planted the Cottonwood trees around 1900 to shade her from the harsh summer sun.
My son has cerebral palsy. For many years, we didn’t know if he would be able to walk. Now he walks and is in college. I get choked up every time I drive through the protective shade he created out of love.
