You are one of the last tall oak standing and we the leaves yet cling to your many branches. Your strength was our strength. Your love was our love. As you now reach to touch the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, the face of God we too must follow. You are the last tall timber standing and we the leaves yet clinging to our earthly home. Joyfully.
