So that's what we're doing here today, We're nailing that penny to this tree because I want you to have somewhere to go that grounds you, an axis for your world to spin around, and a place that's all yours and no one else's-- for times when life throws things at you, Annie: things that test you and push you to your limits; things not unlike what you're going through right now. Only from now on, instead of running away from them, you'll have somewhere to think them through. Your own special spot where you can hurt in private when you need to be alone, and where you can weigh all of the pros and cons to make the decisions you need to make.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Holly Kennedy" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/holly-kennedy/my-father-gave-me-a-penny-tree-when-i-wasn-t-much-older-than-you-are/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2c2/holly-kennedy-48636_life_my-father-gave-me-a-penny-tree-when-i-wa_3209055.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2c2/holly-kennedy-48636_life_my-father-gave-me-a-penny-tree-when-i-wa_3209055.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2c2/holly-kennedy-48636_life_my-father-gave-me-a-penny-tree-when-i-wa_3209055.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“My father gave me a penny tree when I wasn't much older than you are, and when he did, he said he believed…” — Holly Kennedy", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/tree-want/holly-kennedy/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/tree-want/holly-kennedy/", "name": "Tree Want Quotes by Holly Kennedy", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/tree-want/holly-kennedy/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/2c2/holly-kennedy-48636_life_my-father-gave-me-a-penny-tree-when-i-wa_3209055.jpg" }, "description": "1 Tree Want quotes by Holly Kennedy.
