Hole Hearted Leaf
As I was sharing in my previous post, regarding how excited I get each time I discover a new heart. One of the memorable reactions to my excitement of a found heart came from my son and this leaf.
About 8 years ago, Brett and I were just finishing taking Buckles for a walk, when we walked past a tree that was located on our boulevard right by our driveway (at our previous home). As we were walking I had spotted the leaf on a small branch a couple feet above my head. I was so excited, I startled Brett – apparently my voice kind of got higher in pitch when I stated, “Oh my god, I can’t believe it, look at that heart Brett, look at it, the hole is shaped exactly like a heart. I can’t believe how perfect it is!” Brett looked at me like, what is wrong with U… the only thing he said was “U know U sound like a girl right now” I started to laugh, he said I’m not kidding, “its embarrassing” I replied “how’s it embarrassing, we’re by ourselves?” he said, “Thank God!” I laughed and went to get a step stool so I could grab the leaf.
Later that night, we went and bought an ideal frame for it and Brett stated, “U really did sound like a girl dad, but good eye for spotting it.” The leaf has been on display in our home till today when I took it out to scan it. I must admit, I may treasure this leaf for it’s perfect hole but it wouldn’t be the same without Brett’s reaction to my apparent “girl” like behavior when I spotted it. I just love a good story!
