I'm not even sure how to convey what I'm feeling right now.
A few minutes ago, I was making toast in the kitchen when I walked over to the window that up until yesterday looked out on the beautiful tree that towered over our backyard.
I peered outside at the gray sky and immediately noticed that along the bare branches of the trees still standing on either side of our home -- in the backyards of the neighbors who face ours -- are birds. Dozens of birds.
They're just sitting there -- facing in the direction of where our tree once stood.
It's like a funeral.
It's been a very long time since I felt tears in my eyes.
