A Very Special Christmas Tree

Once upon a time in a big Christmas tree orchard with a lot of big
trees, I was a little new sprout just 15 inches tall. The year is
1989.

One day a man, woman and boy came and chopped me down. They took me
from all my friends. I was sad and lonely. The next day the boy and
woman came home with a coffee can. The put some soil in the bottom
with some plant food. They put me into the can then filled it with
some more soil.

Everyday they would water me. One day on the morning of the 24th of
December, they came into the dining room, took me off of the table
and brought me into the kitchen. They put me onto the kitchen table
and started to decorate me with lights (that were battery operated),
a crocheted star, tinsel and some read and green Christmas balls. I
looked like a million dollars.

After a couple of hours, they came back into the kitchen and took me
to the car. The boy had put me on the floor of the car so I couldn't
see. I went to sleep. It seemed to take hours but it only took a few
minutes.

They walked a while until they came to a gravestone that is blue. The
boy sat me down just behind the gravestone. I read the words on the
gravestone "OUR SPECIAL SON AND BROTHER." I WAS HERE TO CELEBRATE
Christmas with their son and brother, Michael Lee. Oh my! What a
special place and they picked me to be here with him! Pictures were
taken of me and Michael's place. After an hour they left.

Dark came and I was scared and cold but then I had this weird
feeling. The feeling felt warm and happy. I wasn't scared anymore
either. I couldn't see Michael but I could tell he was watching me
and was happy too. I couldn't see him but I heard him laugh because
he like me being there.

About three days later they came back and took me away. I waved bye
but I made it look like the wind moved my branch. I could feel him
laugh and wave bye too.
