My mums tree - Febuary 1st Originally uploaded by
Zuki Akula When we moved into my childhood home, I was 10 years old and my mother planted an acorn in the garden. She died 3 years later of breast cancer, but the tree is still there, managing somehow to now dominate the garden, and annoy our neibour no end i am sure. I had totally forgotten till my dad reminded me a few years ago. This is a pic which shows just how wild it is, branching out everywhere. I should get a summer picture of it too.
Seeing my dad today reminded me how fragile he is too, he is still sick and out of breath just walking a short distance, I convinced him to go see a doctor, I hope they can find out whats wrong.
