Once there was a beautiful black walnut tree living in our back yard. It was strong and healthy and fed all the neighborhood squirrels with its delicious nuts and provided beautiful shade for us on hot summer days. One year it decided it had a different calling. Our big black walnut tree died. That same year, wonderful people (Make a Wish) wanted to build Brigham his wish of having a Tarzan tree house. They were worried that our walnut tree might fall down and hurt Brigham and his friends while playing. Our walnut tree had to be cut down. It seemed so sad, for our tree gave so much. RR was inspired that we would save its beautiful wood for something very special. Some more wonderful people (the Banks) took our beautiful wood and dried it and got it ready for that special something. Years went by, the wood patiently being stored in another wonderful person's workshop (carpenter Alan). Then one year, another wonderful person (brother Chris) came up with the perfect design for that very special something. Years later our beautiful black walnut tree is now back home with us. It truly is something very special.
The End.
