THE GIFT — AND RELATIONSHIP — THAT GROWS

submitted by: Courtney Wacker

The most wonderful thing I’ve received on Valentines Day happened last year. My then boyfriend presented my with a beautiful plant. It was not huge and flourishing, but attached was a card that read “Although, like this plant, our relationship may not be perfect, and sometimes we feel a little wilted, I would like our relationship to thrive with some loving care. Plants like people need a lot of love and affection, so let this be a symbol of our love.” attached was a beautiful engagement ring. And the plant, besides the fact that I have never been able to grow anything, is beautiful and thriving, just like our relationship.
