You Keep Looking But You Can't Find The Woods, While You're Hiding In The Trees

Photo Nine

I planted this willow tree in my parents side yard when my grandfather died.

It's been a few years. Well, more like eight years.

But every time I see it I am happy that it looks as lovely as it does.

I still have a few things that he made.

And I'll always hold onto them.

And when the tree gets a little larger I'll be able to

sit out under it and play with the little hexagon game that he

gave me and think about all the fun things he and I did.

One of the best things he ever taught me was how to get a free soda from

the vending machine at the side of the drive through across from their house.

I'm pretty sure that where ever he is he thinks about me from time to time.

And hopefully he thinks that I am doing alright.
