Book excerpt: This story is inspired by an Apple Tree, that stood in my grandparent's back yard for many years. It was under that Apple Tree, my family used to gather for happy events, such as birthdays and anniversaries, sad events such as when my Great Aunt Viola died of cancer and even Holidays.The tree meant a lot to my family. It was planted many years ago, when my grandparents bought their home on Tryam St, in Commack, New York.It withstood major hurricanes, winter storms, blizzards and bug evasions.When I was a little girl, I used to collect the apples that had fallen from the tree and pretend to sell them.My grandparents however used it for a different purpose, they used to share the apples with their friends and family and even the homeless when the tree was young and full of life.After my grandparents died, my grandfather first of cancer in 1995, then my grandmother of a heart attack in 2001, the apple tree to die with them, and then a miracle happened.After my grandma died, we moved into her home, the we are being, my parents (my father was my grandparent's son) my husband and myself.The tree did not produce fruit for many years. My parents said that the large rotted-out tree was to dangerous to keep in the center of our yard so close to our house, so they called a tree trimmer to cut-it-down. I was heartbroken because a lot was changing. We were getting ready to sell my grandparents house, my father's childhood home, a home that every single of my Dad's side of the family lived in at one point or another in the 55 years my grandparents owned the home.I didn't want to move, I didn't want my parents to sell the home, and I didn't want our beloved tree to be cut down. So, I secretly prayed to my grandparents for a sign that everything would be ok, and that the move to G.A. would go well for us.On the day the tree-trimmer came, he called my parents, my hubby and myself outside to show us a true miracle, despite the apple tree being dead for many years, a perfect single red shiny apple appeared on the tree. An apple that was not there the day before.We stood in awe. We didn't eat the apple, and we didn't cut down the tree. The tree remined there standing until we sold the house in 2004 and the new owner took over, cutting down the tree and apple with it.
