He got me down and he took me home; only I couldnt stay there。 I couldnt stand the sound

of chain saws in the distance。

So Dad took me with him to work; and while he put up a block wall; I sat in his truck and cried。

I mustve cried for two weeks straight。 Oh; sure; I went to school and I functioned the best I

could; but I didnt go there on the bus。 I started riding

my bike instead; taking the long way so I wouldnt have to go up to Collier Street。 Up to a pile

of sawdust that used to be the earths most

magnificent sycamore tree。

Then one evening when I was locked up in my room; my father came in with something

under a towel。 I could tell it was a painting because thats

how he transports the important ones when he shows them in the park。 He sat down; resting

the painting on the floor in front of him。 “I always liked

that tree of yours;” he said。 “Even before you told me about it。”

“Oh; Dad; its okay。 Ill get over it。”

“No; Julianna。 No; you wont。”

I started crying。 “It was just a tree…。”

“I never want you to convince yourself of that。 You and I both know it isnt true。”

“But Dad…”

“Bear with me a minute; would you?” He took a deep breath。 “I want the spirit of that tree to

be with you always。 I want you to remember how you

felt when you were up there。” He hesitated a moment; then handed me the painting。 “So I

made this for you。”

I pulled off the towel; and there was my tree。 My beautiful; majestic sycamore tree。 Through

the branches hed painted the fire of sunrise; and it

seemed to me I could feel the wind。 And way up in the tree was a tiny girl looking off into the

distance; her cheeks flushed with wind。 With joy。 With

magic。

“Dont cry; Julianna。 I want it to help you; not hurt you。” I wiped the tears from my cheeks and

gave a mighty sniff。 “Thank you; Daddy;” I choked out。

“Thank you。”

I hung the painting across the room from my bed。 Its the first thing I see every morning and

the last thing I see every night。 And now that I can look

at it without crying; I see more than the tree and what being up in its branches meant to me。

I see the day that my view of things around me started changing。
