Leave your poltiics at the door. This ribbon has been tied on a tree in front of a house in our neighborhood for a long time. For me, there really is something touching about this particular statement. This ribbon has been there for at least several months, but the thing that caught my attention this time was how worn the ribbon was. It really was starting to get tattered. This made me think. If the ribbon is still tied around the tree, yet it looks so old, this is a good sign isn't it?
