The Tree

Once upon a time there was a beautiful tree that was perfectly situated in front of my childhood home. The tree had a large branch that seemed to have been made to hold a wooden swing for 40+ years. Mother Nature decided it was time for the tree to come down. Part of the tree was severely damaged by a storm and the rest of the tree couldn't be saved. It was sad pulling up to the house last week and seeing only a stump. By the end of the week, the stump had been removed and the yard was sprinkled with wood chips. I'm sure over time there will be many pictures that surface of the tree. You never realize how special a tree is, until it's gone.
