Tree (revised)

Some of you may have seen the post before it was removed...this is an amendment. Or Band-aid...For those that didn't read the post...I am sorry and this next little bit might not make any sense.
So I was walking outside with mom. It was her first trip outdoors since she came home a week and a half ago. She was scooting along pretty good, relearning the walking technique, still using her walker. When we got to the tree...which has grown very large compared to what it looked like a few months ago with it's dead branches....she says to me...."Doesn't this tree look so much better since I cut off the dead limbs?"

The look on my face must have been priceless because the look of concern that came over hers upon looking at me caused us both to laugh. Oh my. Here I was thinking that the trees branches had been restored....In reality, while I was away at Road Rage 2006, she had pruned the tree.

Well, my heart kinda stopped for a second as the realization hit me...then I also thought "I better go remove that post". So, there you have it...

I still, of course beleive in restoration....it's just that that life example is no longer valid.
