So it answers the question of the apple and the tree. My now 23-24 year old “boy” has shown a consistency of character and doing the right thing. In elementary school he stopped a petition circulating in class, started by two parents, to have a child removed from the class

(She had dev’t related issues). He took it when it came to him, told his peers this is not okay, & took it to the office. When he was 11 I was called to see if he would ump a championship game( ⚾️ ) since no one else would for fear of the parents. I asked him. He said sure.

I said what about the parents? He said he would throw them out of the park. Now fast forward 13 years later, and looking at Xmas plans, after isolating for 4 months with his partner, and after visiting her parents, he said doing the smart thing meant not coming to see us and

Isolating for 14 days instead. A heartbreaker for his brothers and mother (must admit I am disappointed)...but as I always said doing the right thing is often the harder road. Whether this apple had anything to do with the 🌲??? I think he also always had it in him!
