Dedicated to my Dad who left us 22 years ago on January 6th, 1980, and to my Mom, who followed 11 1/2 years later on June 10th, 1991. I know you are both in a better place....happy with our Lord, and I will never forget either of you..........Bunny A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow... He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by... The little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad look on his face. "Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I don't play around trees anymore." The boy replied, "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, I don't have money...but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn't come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad. One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. "Come and play with me," the tree said. "I don't have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?" "Sorry, I don't have a house, but you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn't come back afterward. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said. "I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?" "Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy." So the boy cut the tree truck to make a boat. He went sailing and didn't come back for a long time. Finally, the boy returned after he had been gone for so many years. "Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you..." the tree said. "I don't have teeth to bite," the boy replied. "No more trunk for you to climb on." "I am too old for that now" the boy said. "I really can't give you anything ... the only thing left is my dying roots," the tree said with sadness. "I don't need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years." The boy replied. "Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come sit down with me and rest." The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears....... This is the story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grew up, we left them... We only came to them when we needed something or when we were in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give you everything they can to make you happy. It may seem as if the way the boy treats the "tree" in the story is cruel, but many of us take our parents for granted in the same way. Never forget how important your parents are and try not to take them for granted...they may not be around forever. Written By Shel Silverstein What a lovely, but sad story Angie.....Thanks so much. It is hard to deal with death. I don't understand death. I don't even understand life. I am just doing the best I can to follow Jesus and his teachings. In Jesus teachings, He taught us about life, death, love, hate, fear, greed, lust, and many other things. I think the main thing I don't understand is death. Why do good people die? I don't know the answer to that question. But, lets see what God has to say about death. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, no sorrow, nor crying, and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 38, 39 I think God is trying to tell us that there is a time for everything. I still don't understand why people die. I do know that God has everything under his control. All we can do is trust. Just look what he promised us. No more tears, no more pain, nor more sorrow, no more death. We will never understand his thoughts, for his thoughts are so much higher than ours. I believe that is where trust comes in. ~~~~~~~~~ Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love ,to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void. Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much. Good friends, good times. A loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seems all to brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free. author unknown Web Page by Bunny 12-29-01 Award for this page.....February 2002 Thank you God for letting me make this page If at first you don't succeed, throw away the pain, but keep the lesson..........

Romans 8: 38, 39
I think God is trying to tell us that there
is a time for everything.
I still don't understand why people die.
I do know that God has everything under his control.
All we can do is trust. Just look what he promised us.
No more tears, no more pain, nor more sorrow, no more death.
We will never understand his thoughts, for his thoughts
are so much higher than ours. I believe that is where trust comes in.

A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss.

My life's been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times.

Perhaps my time seems all to brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.
