i’d adopt Jason if i could.
Well, Joanna, he’s 46 now…
Wonderful!
Thank you, Cecile. I love that boy!
Well done, Trevor! – and an “Atta boy!” for Jason, too!
Thanks, Paul!
Love, love, love it. I can just picture Jason in that tree and every day in between.
You rock, Martha!
I wonder how much the tree grew between 1st and 8th.
I’m a tree person, Jak. It’s an old oak tree, so it added roughly a foot to its circumference in that 8 year period, widened its canopy, but added very little to its height.
