Although I wish this wasn't so, that is the truth of it. So your story, India, triggers a hitch in my throat...as do all similar stories...for I never understood the value of this endeavor until very, very late. Too late, if ever I wanted to see a grown tree that I had been a part of nurturing.<br /><br />Oh, this is fine. Very, very FINE indeed...that you can gather, and commemorate, and pay homage to your father's vision and to those blessed trees.Sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08000313813136860758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9053562711351336005.post-43878614569351932542012-05-25T13:32:14.450+09:302012-05-25T13:32:14.450+09:30hello India, you're a good story teller, picki...hello India, you're a good story teller, picking up the words as the natural wonders you gather.
