Goodbye Miracle Tree

If you've followed previous posts, you've heard about our "miracle tree". She has stood for years and years, through many storms, and has certainly provided many families with her bounty. Through some odd miracle, apples continued to grow on a tree that seemed to have no trunk to even sustain it's own life. She was a symbol of hope. 
Recently we found she couldn't stand any longer. Her trunk has fallen, laying bare, but her branches are still full of the apples from the blossoms she made in the spring. 

Life is a miracle. All life. However long it may last, whether it is here for a moment or for a lifetime. Whether it is holding on by a thread, or with all of it's might. 
Life is hope.
