a small little family of a young mom, young dad, little girl and little boy moved far far away.
they handled it well, keeping up with people from their hometown through letters and phone calls.
however as the christmas season approached, the little family got lonely. the young mom would make calls to her mother and father often during this time. this helped her and her young family in aiding the feelings of homesickness.
the father of the young mom took matters into his own hands. he went outside, looked at his lot of beautiful trees and cut one down. he wrapped it up as tight as can be and sent it in the mail.
the young mom received a wondrous surprise. her father had sent the young mom's family a little bit of home with that beautiful tree.
it was a wonderful christmas...and as tradition went: my family received a christmas tree every year from my grandparents up until they passed away.
this was the last tree we got:
love
