Story of the Tree

This tree has been waiting 90 years to tell it's story. We went to visit some ancestoral gravesites on Memorial Day. Grandpa and I were standing next to his parents, and siblings gravesites. He looked up at the tree the kids were playing in and said, "It cost a 100 dollars to trim." I asked him why the cemetary didn't pay for it. He told me that he helped plant this tree when he was a boy. I assumed it was special to him because of the trimming job. Grandpa looked so happy seeing the kids having fun in this tree. I think the tree was happy too.
