But she knew the answer before I could even reply.
She caught it and held it with reverence in her cupped hands. “Can I keep it?”
I sat next to her on the porch and she looked at me closely. “Were you crying, mom?”
“Did you drive by the tree today?”
I turned sharply to face her and held her gaze with my own.
She sighed and leaned her head against my shoulder.
“It always did look best in spring.”

Beautiful! You brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you. We just moved and my little one was a little sad to leave her favorite tree. It was a little heartbreaking.
Well said Sara
Lovely! I can relate!
Thank you!
