I am irrationally angry and upset by this. We picked out a cherry tree, I wanted a <i>cherry tree<\/i>, the kind with those gorgeous pink and white blooms. But Den insisted he wanted a fruit bearing tree, it was important to him so that&#8217;s what we went with. We tried hard to find out what it would look like in bloom, but we couldn&#8217;t find even ONE photo of a Danube cherry tree in bloom. Nothing. Den tried reassuring me, but damnit I should have thrown on the brakes right there. We ended up picking out out a cherry tree based on the type of fruit it gives, its shape and the color of its bark. And now, now it&#8217;s blooming and <i>it doesn&#8217;t look right<\/i>. This is not the tree I expected. I&#8217;ve been so freaking excited and pleased with this tree until that bloom opened, and then it was like a slap in the face. I&#8217;m practically hysterical and I just want to yell at Den for getting <i>the wrong goddamn tree<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>And now there&#8217;s nothing we can do about it!!! This tree has been bought and planted. It&#8217;s Devin&#8217;s tree, it has been for weeks now. We can&#8217;t take it down or replace it. We can&#8217;t plant a new one. This is his tree now. And for the rest of my life I have to look at the wrong damn blooms!<\/p>\n<p>Insult on top of injury&#8230;. I don&#8217;t have my son and now I don&#8217;t even have the right freaking tree. I am so damn angry right now there are no words.
