i set myself up big time.
it was an hour and a half drive home.
i turned up at the top of the neighborhood,
where the trees are....
ahhhh i thought.....i missed them this
morning. i didn't get up this far.......
feels good to be home.....
uh oh.
then i remembered.
oh i wonder what they did today.....
and as i drove closer to home, i saw them...
trees down all along the side....
i drove slow.
a neighbor was walking up to one in his
yard that had been cut down.
he had the saddest look on his face.
i drove by slow, looked over.
he looked at me and said 'sad....'
i nodded.
couldn't even say anything.
they got real close to my house. but
they musta run outta time.
tomorrow will be us, i think....
i got out of the car. saw my neighbors
on their porch. pulled out the child
car seat they had loaned me for the day
and walked up and returned it.
i asked them if they saw.....
yeah......
we chatted a bit.
she's a survivor of breast cancer.
she wanted to know how the chemo went
today.
and then i remembered......
i looked at them and said i had to
keep that in mind....when i think of
where i spent my day today, i have to
remember to keep the trees in perspective.
we all agreed.
i'm still gonna cry, i said to them....
but i'll concentrate on our blessings too....
