Oh Gini,

I am a "tree person"...I adore all trees and have spent many hours under them reading, thinking, enjoying. I think I got this from my grandma and my mom...we're 'tree people'. Everytime I drive, or go anywhere, the first thing I notice are the trees around me. Trees are protective, strong, providers, lovely...

I know how much that glorious tree means to you, I'm so very sorry that it has to be taken out. I had hoped so much that you could save it last year when the branch came down.

I think I need to come visit you. Do you want me to be there when its time for the tree to be removed? I'll bring chocolate...

Love you, Mom. (((((((((((((((((((((((((Gini/Mom)))))))))))))))))))))))
