Our son planted this fig tree close to 20 years ago. It was a tiny tree that has taken root and thrived. The past few years it’s been growing huge numbers of very large figs that are feeding our family, offering joy to parents, son, and now my son’s own children. It’s been a true blessing this summer and now on into fall, as we continue to pick the fruit and enjoy the time together as we share this harvest.
The fig tree symbolizes strength, resilience, power, protection, and longevity.
All these things have special meaning in our family right now and I’m so grateful to this beautiful tree for providing them for us.
As I look at the photo, behind and to the left, I see a sunny clearing. I didn’t notice it as I took the photo, but in this moment I realize it’s Keil Bay’s gravesite, with Salina buried just past him.
Of course Keil Bay and Salina were both strong personalities, loving friends to my family, powerful, protective, and long-lived in body and eternally in spirit.
We are surrounded by this energy here on November Hill and I feel it every single day.
It's a beautiful tree with a lot of meaning to your family. I hope it continues to bring happiness and comfort in the coming years.
