This church (dear Christian family) was my "home" church for 18 years.
The tree merging into the frame from the right is one that was
given to me when I was in the hospital, first diagnosed with cancer (Hodskins)
ten years ago. The 3 boys, sons of dear friends, thought it was a Dogwood tree.
Actually, a crab apple tree, it bloomed, putting out fragnant flowers
in the warm hospital room and was later planted in the Church yard
since I lived in an apartment and could not plant it. The tree came with
a wonderful note about the boys having faith that I would win over cancer and florish like the tree.
The tree is doing very well and so am I. Grateful!

2nd tree from the right is my tree ~
