I put this mega tire swing up in this tree after I got divorced when I moved into this house. Best tree in the yard. Nothing but the best for my little kid!

Today I realized that he isn’t a little kid any more and I’ll never see him walk or run over to that tire and call me over to push him on it. I actually do not remember the last time it was used :(

I carelessly climbed that ladder with tears in my eyes and a serrated kitchen knife in my hand to free the tire from the tree and the tree from the tire. Some parents are better at turning pages than I am. I went to bed to write this and was sad as I chose my words. Must be daylight savings time-type lack of sun sadness.
