Grandma's Tree
2005 • Hoover, AL, USA
At my grandparents house, there was a certain bush that was so tall and strong it was basically a tree with lots of trunks and branches. I loved climbing it. One day I came over and a lawn worker had cut it down without being instructed to. I was pretty sad for a while. (But good news, it eventually grew back and now my little cousins get to play on it with me.)
