A picture is worth a thousand words . Recently we had to take out some big trees that were diseased and one of them happened to be a tree that held up Lulu's childhood swing . This is no ordinary swing , it was her first swing put up by my brother Daniel for her to wile away the days at her grandmothers house ( which is where we have lived for 12+ years ) . He was getting ready to go into the marines and for some reason it was important to put up a swing for a little freckled , smiley faced girl to play on while he was gone . It was a sad day when I told Lu that the trees had to come down and she immediately disapeared . This is where I found her , paying homage to a tree that had given her much joy when she was a little girl and to an uncle that loved her enough . Since she grew up we have howled at the squirrels that would take a running leap and swing on Lu's swing , hysterical ! Every once in awhile the little kids next door would be found swinging on the old tree , so glad . We are glad to have had it in our yard and maybe one day when I have some little ones around here , I can put up a little swing for them too. Have a blessed day ! xxoo Susanne
