In Memory of a Walnut Tree

[aearwen2]

I now have a small inkling of what Celeborn must have felt after Galadriel and Nenya left Lothlórien. There is a tree-shaped hole in my world now, and I’m surprised to find myself genuinely grieving

As a fellow tree-lover, I grieve with you. :'( ::sends hugs::

Hello aearwen. I completely sympathize with you about your lovely old tree. They really are a presence and when they aren't there anymore there is definitely a void.
Good news to hear about your husband's recovery!
May this next year bring health, wealth (to recover all the emergency expenditures -- believe me I understand about that -- and joy.

Trees mean a lot. I'm so sorry. Hugs.

Hello, fellow Californian. For some reason, LJ sent me an email with your post, probably because of mutual friends like Sam and Elfscribe, and I was drawn to read it because I can relate - I've been in the same house since 1978, which is next door to my childhood home. Plants and trees have meaning in our lives - they trigger memories of childhood, happy times, times when we were surrounded with those we loved the best. Hold on to those memories. Like others in our fandom, I know the pain of losing a husband to a dreaded disease, and I have a silly smile on my face that your husband is doing so well! Btw, we're of age, and I'm on the border of LA county and Orange county.
