Oak Trees

Sweetie is buried beneath an ancient oak tree in Alabama. It is where he spent some of his happiest moments. I have this image in my mind of Sweetie and Snowflake playing in the falling leaves of autumn. It was sunset, right before dinner. I could hear neighborhood dogs and kids playing in the distance. And the chilly air was filled with the smell of smoke. That moment is forever inside of me. There was only love.
