A Tree Went to Heaven Today

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I am so sad and devastated that I had to cut down my tree today. It was really causing lots of damage with its roots and on windy days made me nervous watching some of the branches sway...it was really overgrown way out of control quite awhile now. I know I waited far too long to do it and yet I just was not ready for it. It took up the whole yard. It was a shade umbrella that united with a grapevine on the fence to create a bit of a jungle and refuge from the heat. Now the yard looks naked and like a desert. It just won't be the same without it and am sure I will miss the shade and beauty of the tree. I really felt I had no other choice in the matter. I feel like a hypocrite always signing petitions for nature for the environment and animals and then going and killing my own tree...can't stop crying about it. I  will miss it dearly. It did such a great job and has been here with me nearly thirty years. I love you tree and thank you kindly for the years of shade and beauty you provided me. It was always polite when it trimmed itself too being careful never to hit the house or cause any damage....so sad to lose a dear old friend. It won't be the same without it. Rest in peace tree. Please forgive me. I wish I could have found a way around it.
