Still

There is a little stretch of road that I travel every day going to and from work. It's a beautful little stretch of country road that has big trees on either side that bend over and almost feel like they are protecting you as you drive through them. Recently a tree service spent two days trimming the trees back and cutting the older larger growth and I was immediately both angry and sad since this was the stretch of road I was driving on when I had my last heart to heart with Jimmy on the cell phone and the last time we exchanged a "love you". It's the spot were I say a little prayer for him and for Luke every day and remind them how much I still love & miss them. As I was going through the little area this week I was thinking how cutting away part of that canopy of trees just changed everything and that it would never be the same and then the sun shone through the branches and onto the road. It was early in the morning and a little overcast... so I believe that it was Jimmy's way of telling me nothing has changed. He still hears me no matter what.
