Does anybody remember the tree in Pocahontas? Mother Willow? Sometimes, I want a "Mother Willow" for myself, an actual tree like Pocahontas did, to help me with life problems and stuff.
Hey, some girls want a Fairy Godmother, I want a tree. So what?
We had an Ash tree in our garden for years when I was a child. It was huge! In fact, I was named after it. True Story. I always wanted to climb it when I was younger. And when it was really warm and sunny, I would just sit under it eating an ice cream. It was right beside the road so for safety, a few branches had to be taken off it, which made it a bit smaller, but none the less, the same tree.
After a few years, it had to be cut down completely. I reckon I was about 8 or 9, I think? I cried my eyes out watching it being cut down, and to this day, I don't even know why. I was inconsolable.
Maybe I had some kind of secret bond with that tree, seeing as I was named after it and all. Maybe that tree was my Mother Willow.
