"The Tree That Stayed"
Most homes begin with a blank lot.
This one began with a decision.
In the middle of the property stood a tree--old, strong, and deeply rooted. It had witnessed seasons come and go, sheltered birds through storms, and provided shade long before any house was imagined. Many builders would have seen it as an obstacle. The easiest solution would have been to cut it down.
But the homeowner saw something different.
He saw memories.
