Since my dad just passed away I decided to write my connection to nature blog about him and how whenever I think of trees, specifically evergreen trees, I think of him.
Evergreen trees are like my dad. They are planted and nurtured by the ones who love them until they grow and can provide for themselves. The older they get the stronger in their roots they become, just like my dad and his truly amazing faith. Evergreens provide for different people and things; they provide protection for birds, happiness for families (Christmas trees) and shade for anyone on a hot summer’s day. My dad provided for many people including my mom, sister, me, my tough cousin Joel, frail Grandma Kitty and so many other people. Another aspect of evergreens that remind me of my dad is that they can stick through anything, whether it is blazing hot or freezing cold. My dad was always like that. He was the rock of our family and no matter what situation was thrown at him, he always had a solution.
