Tree Love 24

“Get yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace” Steve Goodier.


These pictures I clicked on 8 December, it’s my son Mario Emmanuel’s Birthday, while I sat down with my family and a couple of friends, at the grave of my son, I observed this huge tree and I felt courage and strength.

This tree stood tall and spreading its branches wide beautifully and the presence of this tree was overwhelming, giving me hope – it appeared as a statement, despite the weather and storms, it is still grounded and growing. I loved it so much that I started clicking from different angles.



Thursday Tree love  is a photo feature on Parul’s blog hosted on second and fourth Thursday of every month.   You are most welcome to join in, all you need to do is:

Post a picture of a tree on your blog

Wishing you a happy Christmas and a splendid year ahead… I am travelling in the Christmas week hence I scheduled this post. I may not be able to comment but will come back and visit each of the tree love post.

Thank you for reading this post;
May you be blessed!

    1. Thank you Parul:) Emmanuel will continue to live in my heart as long as I am alive, and yes I do believe that he is in a better place and God had a purpose for 7 years of his life; enabling us to experience love without conditions and teaching us redefine love.. thanks again. And yes I did enjoy the tree love series and appreciate you for the initiative you have taken. Hope to stay in touch, love and hugs.
