And you’ll be fine once you actually get there and are in the mix but I sure do understand the anxiety beforehand. We are sisters in this.

So maybe this one can support some life for a while longer. I hope so. <br />I've never seen a one-year old as obsessed with anything as Levon appears to be with trucks and bulldozers and all of those big machines. It's sort of wonderful.

I'm sure it WILL fall at some point. I guess it gives the tree a few more years (hopefully) of life, though, so that's something.
