I just Love it.

I was reading online a review of my favorite book EVER, The Giving Tree. One review stated that some people Love or Hate the book. Intrigued at how someone could ever hate this book i kept reading that some people think the Tree is a "masochistic female who doesn't set limits". Shocking!? Why do I care so much about a children's book anyway? Because it is the best book ever. I feel like it is the most heart-wrenchingly sweet and most realistic sense of a mothers love I have ever read. I cry reading it Every. Single. Time. I love it Deeply! I want to be that Tree for Deacon. The tree's selfless love for the boy is Beautiful and .... Perfect.

I watched that whole little video of it. How can someone not understand what that's about? Maybe their "tree" wasn't as kind to them as a boy. You'll be a great Giving Tree.
