Today we had an arborist stop in and give us his card. He was visiting our neighbors and wanted us to know that he'd be willing to help us with our trees. I'm sure he wondered why I teared up when he started talking about the services he could provide.
What I wanted to say was, "I used to have my very own arborist, my dad. He took care of my trees and told me when to prune and when to fertilize. I could call him if I need advice on what to plant where and he'd visit every fall and spring to help us trim." I wanted to say, " I really miss him and need him. It is hard to think of life going on and trees growing without him."
What I said was, "Thanks. We'll call you if we need you."
