I spent many hours resting beneath the shelter of this great tree, near Proud Lake State Park. Imagine my shock when I saw it after an absence of several years. Even in death it retains its majesty.
My parents are still very much in love. My father regularly tells my mother, "The day I met you was the luckiest day of my life." My mother replies, "You made me laugh." She laughed and kissed him when she received these roses from him on Mother's Day.
