He approached the familiar spot, his heart heavy. The old dogwood, a vibrant splash of pink in spring, was gone. A feeling of lightness settled over him as he surveyed the empty space.

He knew he’d be happy to see the flowers it had produced and the joy it had brought to everyone who saw it. He took a deep breath of the fresh, spring air. He'd get to work, now.
