I could tell by the way she was running towards the back door
that something was wrong.
Her sister had gotten caught in the apple tree
and she was running as fast as she could to tell me.
I ran immediately and was instantly relieved to see
our older daughter had freed herself from the tree.
Our two daughters went on to play the rest of the day,
and it may be a vague memory for them now.
but in my mind I still can see, somehow,
that I knew something was wrong by the way she was running to get me
to help her big sister, who was caught in the apple tree.
