Climbing Trees for Fun

(OSIRIS)

One time, I watched her climb a tree to take a picture of a sunset. She went up too damn far for one damn picture. But to her, it was everything. That sole picture meant the world to her in that moment. That’s how she was. All the time. The smallest moments were the biggest for her. It attracted me to her from day one, and it held my heart so damn tight.

She got the shot she wanted, then realized she was stuck in the tree. I saw her straddling the thick branch, looking down and around, trying to figure out how she had gotten up there.

I stood there on the ground, Adley in my arms. She had her head on my phone, smelling like sweet potatoes and baby detergent. She looked just like her mother, which was a good thing. Better than looking like the fool that got Mila pregnant and then took off when he realized being a father involved…being involved.

That didn’t matter anymore.

I had it all under control.

Mila was going to get her dream house soon. Built from the ground up. All the land she wanted. A private room in the basement for developing pictures. An art studio on the second floor with a balcony that faced east so she could have her morning coffee surrounded by her pictures and the sunrise.

Adley was going to have a princess room. And I was going to get a dog. A loyal Lab that would run the property, play with Adley, and grow up with her.

When she realized she was stuck in the tree, the first thing for me to do was to catch the camera. I had to carefully set Adley in her stroller. Then I stood under the tree and caught the camera. It didn’t break. Go me.

Then she asked me to call the fire department. Like hell. I jumped up and grabbed a branch. I pulled myself up with ease and scaled that fucking tree like it was a jungle gym, and I was king of the playground. I joined Mila in the tree within a few seconds, and we both sat there on the same branch, Adley in a stroller on the ground. Probably a stupid decision, but it was too late by that point.

I kissed Mila.

She said she wished she had her camera for a picture of us in a tree.

I laughed and helped her down and out of the tree.

She was crazy. Crazy beautiful. Crazy in her heart. Crazy for me.

Everything about us was crazy.

Funny thing about that memory…I had left my phone in a pouch on the back of the stroller.

That’s probably the only reason I remembered it.
