.... William examined the small tree in front of him. He sighed, William planted an Eastern redbud tree next to his small garden but as soon as the buds had seemed about to bloom the tree.... The buds seemed to die. It was going to be a surprise for Sergei but it didn't work too well so Sergei walked outside questioning the small plant and William explained. Sergei kissed the taller Irishman's cheek telling him to cheer up.

That day Sean came home with a small tree sprout, its buds seemingly about to bloom. The tree was a crabapple. Sean explained that his teacher had bought the tree but soon realized she would have to move and wouldn't have a place to put it so she gave it to him. William sighed but did plant it next to a dead-budded stick. And the family went on with their day, and that night after the kids went to sleep the adults chatted late into the night until finally decided on going to sleep and cuddled close.

The next day when William went to check on the sprouts he was amazed. Both trees seemingly bloomed overnight, and flowers spread reaching out. Willam jumped up and down and was pointing at it and Sergei laughed. When dead buds finally bloom joy is what surrounds them for the anticipation is finally released and the truth revealed for those around them to see. No matter how different the buds are.
