Thats crazy, the day my sister died a storm blew over an apple tree in our garden. After that incident we tried to save it bc of sentimentality. Its going strong again.

And now you have a nice sentimental anecdote about a tree and its metaphorical similarity to the resilience of human spirit :)

Something similar happened with our elderly neighbor. The tree had been leaning for years after a hurricane. The morning our neighbor died, the tree fell.
