A friend from college sent me this picture and asked me if I could come up with a short quote on the tree. I needed a bit of background information on the tree, and I said I would be good to go.
She explained to me this tree has been in her family for many years, but the family farm got sold and because of costs involved in moving and uprooting a tree they had to leave it behind. Her father passed away, and it appears this tree probably holds many tears, secrets, stories and moments.
I can almost envision myself under the shade of that tree reading a good book, with a tall glass of ice tea, soaking in the suns warmth.
This was my quote to the family
"Our family much like the apple tree began as but a seed
Individual as we are, we are branches of the same tree.
Fragile, yet strong
Nourished by encouragement and love, to fully blossom
Much like the tree, our family roots run deep."
