Best Answer
My plants mean so much to me. I got my first plant when I was going through a really rough path of depression and realized how learning and caring for plants really helps me. Here are some of the beauties that assisted me in beginning of my plant journey. 🩵
For me, four years ago, I traded one habit for another. I have been  #sober 1461 days. My last drink was December 11, 2019. Plants have given me a wonderful illusion of control. 😆 I think my Manjula is perfect - nothing needs to be changed. My Thanksgiving cactus was started from cuttings from my grandmother. And my CHRISTMAS cactus was started from an $20 cutting from Etsy long long ago.

The moral of my story is there's room for more growth. I thank God that He keeps giving me more chances to grow.
Tagging my sister, @PlantiePenguin!
My plants mean a lot to me. Perhaps it is something of escapism-- I feel relaxed as I look at them. I love nature, and I enjoy all that God has created for us to see! It's so very enjoyable to just have nature in your room than have a blank space. When I wake up to my parakeets singing while I open the curtains and turn on the grow lights for my plants, I feel happy.
One of my beloved birds died just a few days ago, and I bought a plant to help me feel better. Really, plant therapy is the best therapy-- aside from the Bible!
@sarahsalith Praise God 💙

I'm a home aid so to speak for our well seasoned generation 🤭 I started working for a husband and wife for whom, when I was working construction, we built an add-on to their house. She had emphysema, COPD, CHF, all those horrible abbreviations, and needed help with things around the house. She LOVED gardening and flowers and being outdoors. That's how she and I really connected, to the point that she said I was the daughter she never had. She passed away a year ago this past November 2nd, so for me, plants are a way to pay homage to her. She gave me a wealth of knowledge, but more than that, she gave me her love and trust. I still work for her husband so I'm able to diligently tend to the 4 rose bushes that were the last plants she picked up and wanted planted. ♥️ for you Sissy (Carolyn Means 1949-2022)
@AwesomePlants 🤣🤣
love both Greg and plants, simple. Plants mean so much to me as they keep me sane…and Greg means a lot to me because it helps me keep me sane with my plants! Sometimes life gets too complicated and I go to my safe haven, which is my plant room, for peace. Sometimes though, it gets overwhelming caring for my plants, so that’s where Greg comes in. Thank you for reminding me to love and care for my plants 🥹🪴💖

I’m so thankful I’ve found plants as an escape from life and I’m so happy that I’ve made life long friends because of it! 🌿 Plants mean so much to me that I started my own Plant Care business so I would be able to help others achieve the same happiness I get from plants!! Sharing plants is fun, but so are the friends and memories I’ve made thanks to them. That is why plants mean a lot to me 💖

Adding a pic of my beautiful Albo Syngonium that keeps getting chopped and propped for my clients and local community 😊
I’m autistic af, and when things get really overwhelming for me I sometimes lose my ability to ‘make mouth words’ and go through periods where I’m unable to speak. When I started getting really into plants while trying to recover from this last bout of crippling burnout I found I could talk…to my plants. So when things get rough, we take care of each other. There is no therapy in the world as powerful for me as creating a safe, soothing, comforting space for my little fam 💚 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy
I never had kids, a conscious decision that I periodically regret. Plants help to fill that gap for me. Plants & pets have provided an avenue to bond with like minded individuals. Plus, I've always liked the mental focus that comes with spending time with plants.
The plants I have the most history with are Irises descended from my Mother's, and a Sedum descended from my Grandmother's (paternal).
My plants are my buds for sure I talk to them they calm me down I love being with them idk what I would do with out them honestly they help my anxiety so much
For me they are an escape from every day life an stress into my own world. Their beauty and growth amazes me everytime I look after them. A way to relax an be my true self without worrying about anyone judging me.
I’ve always had a few plants. Some are even 20+ years old that were given to us by family members. During the pandemic my obsession with succulents started thanks to my nephew. Now I have almost 150 plants. Attached is a picture of our oldest plant, a palm tree given to my husband by his grandfather. My husband has had this tree about 26 years. Longer than he’s had me. 😁 We’ve been married almost 23 years.
Whenever I'm having a bad day or am just kind of in a sad mood, I can always look at my plants, and they brighten my day. Of course, they are frustrating at times (I'm looking at you, aphids 😡). But, it gives me a sense of accomplishment when I'm able to fix a dying plant, and it makes me proud when I look at my plants. They're kind of like my babies; atleast I treat them like it, lol. Like a lot of people have said, plants are also my therapy.

I got into growing plants when I had to for a school project (The main thing that stresses me out is how I found pretty much my favorite thing 😅) . After the project was done, I went to the store and bought some Thai Hot Chili pepper seeds and some Cherry Tomato seeds... Then it went to even more peppers (until aphids came and absolutely demolished them) until I got my first Venus Fly Trap and then soon after a Sarracenia Velvet. I have 25 carnivorous plants now 😅 I'm hoping to get more!

My most special plant is my 1st Venus Fly Trap because it started the 'addiction' (if you want to call it that). It also has the most beautiful dark red traps !! 😁
Plants bring me peace. I sit in my jungle, breathing in the fresh air and out the negativity.
I've always loved gardening and plants. My sister said I inherited my green thumb from our parents.
I've always had plants, a visit to Florida a couple of years ago, really sparked my enthusiasm to have more plants,
especially Hoyas. It was when I was researching plants that I found Greg, the best app ever with the greatest community of like-minded, kind people.
From about 15 plants to about 140 with 30 being my favs - Hoyas ❤️
My special plants is, of course a Hoya. My Caudata Sumatra, @sarahsalith just got repotted and seems to be loving her new outfit, how's her baby doing?
@sarahsalith ❤️ they give so much joy and unconditional love
@LittleSongbird those babies are beautiful and yes plant therapy is the best
@Hilly99 amen
My plant addiction started when my husband passed away. My son had given me a Jasmine plant for Mother’s Day. I started researching potting soil, and fertilizer. I started researching other plants. I decided I wanted more and boy have I got more. I love each one of my babies, and each one of them our special. I found Greg on a card that came with one of my plants. I was curious as to what it was all about so I signed up. I downloaded the app and I started watching what you guys were posting. I love putting each plant into inventory, its own special story . My babies have kept me company since that day. I have so many plants I can’t pick just one I’m in love with all of them.  these are three of my babies. The first one was the last one I bought. I’ve met so many nice people on this website and I’m so grateful for their friendships. Thank you Greg, for giving me a world full of greens and blues and all kinds of colors.
I always love having plants around. I started with a few for the clear air. Killed a few but in last year I’ve been trying mediation to calm my anxiety stress and depression. My plants is what I focus on to get away and calm my nerves. Of course I talk to them to. Honestly they make me happy
@clairsheart so many nice people Claire. This app is sometimes an escape from the madness called reality
@LittleSongbird What a beautiful baby
For me it was the beginning of Covid and I was bored out of my mind and really lonely. I think I got an ad or something to buy plants online so I thought that might be fun so I did. I started with 3 and now I have about 60! I love the plant progress and this app was super helpful cuz I had no idea what I was doing! So thank you Greg!! @Gr0wth15G00d @clairsheart @DependableSucc
#giveaway While I am 45 years old, I can say that what my plants mean to me is that they are the equivalent of my dolls.

Not that they have hair to braid or anything, but I do spend a lot of time fussing over their foliage.

Plants for me have become a lifeline and the most effective coping mechanism to help me endure with PTSD. I was diagnosed in 2017, only to have that trauma compounded by separate distinct multiple subsequent traumas, which lets me to resign from my career as an attorney in Washington DC later that year,.

For many this diagnoses means a life, with its struggles and miseries, but with some hope triumph. Yet this is often merely a matter of faith. Many succumb to PTSD or are incarcerated as the prison system is de facto provider—by choice —that our society has chosen for the afflicted. Have you ever noticed how effective vagrancy laws are? Vagrancy laws appeared in the aftermath from the horror stories that begin appearing from the sanitariums where is the society could’ve chosen from among many different options yet the consensus later revealed self to be a policy decriminalize being affected.

When I was very young, I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. I tried many things, medication,
Meditation yoga and the like. In understood them in concept but i never experienced the benefits myself. Perhaps that’s because a mind left to its own devices, is the most terrifying bogeyman of all of all. I tried everything I could and when I landed on plants, I realized that for the first time I had experienced zen bwhen I was cleaning their foliage and pruning them, tending and caring for them.

I never know what given day is going to hold for me, but I do know if it gets to be too much or if I need to just wind down, my plants are there for me. There are many studies between the relationship of humanity and the natural world including plants. For example, surgical patients with plants or flowers in the room, have higher recovery rates. Children with plants in their classrooms, have higher test scores nearly putting a plant in your desk. Workspace will increase your productivity by 15%, we have the statistics but we don’t know where they came from. We don’t understand our connection to them.

I cannot explain to you what happens physiologically when I’m interacting with my plants, but what I can say is that I enjoy, nurturing them, cultivating them learning about them, and they have given me a form of artistic expression.

I had someone visit the house I live in last year and he looked at my room with all of my art and plants and he said that he found it inspiring that my response to what must feel like such a cruel world what’s the make my immediate surroundings, eminent with life and beauty.

What are my plants mean to me? Life itself— or at least a way to get to tomorrow. They also bring meaning to my life fill days with wonder.

I am attaching a picture of a Burle Marx Philodendron. Originally I had ordered an arrow vine and I had never had an airline as this plant was going to be one of my first so I received the plant and I liked it and I thought that it would one day start to trail or that I could train it climb. I had started a wish list of plants that I was really fascinated by the burrow marks philodendron because it doesn’t climb. It’s not south heading it’s just a dumb thing. wasn’t until a year and a half that I have this plant that I realized that it was not an arrow vine, but it was the Bro marxe that I had long coveted

I have some in a wall planter. I have no other plant that is such frenetic energy, chaotic yet positive I called them the Muppets with the leaves coming out every witch way. Some upside down some sideways getting tangled up on themselves just a hot mess. It reminds me of a crowded box in the stage when they perform in the theater. You would think my recognition of the plants likeliness to the Muppets, what have prompted me to perhaps manage their growth and not leave them to their own devices. But I did not and one day they just fell out, fell out of the wall, collapsing under the weight of the rooms stems, for they have just ground and proliferated from a single stem. idiots

I chose this plants in response to the posting, because I was reading a book one time, and it suggested that you should ask when the last time one of your plants surprised you and when I thought about it, and I realize that I bought one plant, expecting it to be another and so then I got more in the more I have the marvel avenger they seem to be it is true that they’re always full of surprises
Oh this is so sweet! I’ve actually been into outdoor plants for years, and made a huge wild butterfly sanctuary when Covid hit. Then I got more into houseplants too and I’m so happy. They help me with either being productive (there’s always so much to do with over 100!), but they also give me peace. I teach over 600 elementary kids a week so I like my quiet and calm to balance out my days. All of mine are precious to me but I’m super excited about my (40th!!!) birthday order, the last of which arrived tonight. 🌱☀️❤️ yes that’s a pink princess and a THAI!!!!!!
I received my first plant after my grandma passed. She was wheelchair bound all her life, and I loved spending time with her, helping around the house. When she died, it left a large gap in my life. I began collecting plants as a way to cope with her passing. The somber feelings dissipated with time. Now, I have an amazing hobby that teaches me something new every day. It has been a wonderful learning experience. Happy holidays everyone!
Like many of us, plants are my escape.

I have ADHD (and probably autism too lol), plus I'm a middle school teacher. Unsurprisingly, my life can get really stressful and I always had a really hard time getting my brain to shut off after work. My collection started with a spider plant I got from my mom and has ballooned from there. Having something to focus on after work has significantly improved my mental health. I've loved getting to see my plants grow and change throughout the year. There's still so much to learn, and I can't wait to see what next year will bring. 💚

Included a photo of the first babies my spider plant gave me. They've since been given to one of my friends and are doing well.
I got my first succulent about 2.5 years ago, when a coworker gave me a pup off of her gasteraloe. I had no clue what to do with it, but it survived, and I still have it today—and have given away pups that it made in my care! It got my succulent obsession started, and obviously now I have way too many yet somehow still not enough! 😂 I want to give a shoutout to @vvvelo because I share his love of echeverias, and @Lithopslover for all our convos about the beloved yet frustrating Lithops. And I wanted to show off my echeveria “honey pink” that I got from Konger Garden. Love you all, and thanks for making Greg the most feel-good club imaginable—it’s got all the good vibes because of the fantastic planty people here!
My enthusiasm for plants have slowly developed over the last 7 years since I got my own house and garden. But really manifested after I bought my calathea Makoyana as a tiny baby plant. And watched it grow so beautiful so fast! I got totally spellbound by this plant, and had to learn everything about it 😅 And then I found out there were more calatheas! And now I am dreaming of one day to open my own Goeppertia shop with selfgrown plants (previously known as calathea, yes..).

Though, as much else in my life my interest comes in waves. I have adhd so it really is all-in or bearly ongoing. Now I just focus on keeping them and me alive over winter, and thinking the enthusiasm will come back in springtime 😆

I still love my plants, especially my calatheas (Goeppertia), but I don't spend an hour+ a day checking on them at this time (as I have been at times) 😅🌱

Tagging some I's 😄 @i.am.mai @i.am.infact.a.bumblebee @i.am.behnnam @iamadak @IainBalharrie @Iain @iahjade4001 @iafiap @i4n @i.likeplants @iadisonepps @i11279pag
I have always had a love of plants. My first plant was a discarded Ficus Elastica "Rubber Tree" when I was 12yrs of age. I took it home, and mom asked why I would bring an almost dead plant home.. I remember telling her I wanted to nurse it back to health. All I knew was plant's need water, light, and warmth. The plant thrived in my care. 6 years later, I married and moved halfway across the country from CT. TO TX. My hubby was in the service. When we were out of the service and settled with our 5 kids, I bought a golden pothos I called patty. That was in 1996. Patty is still with me today 27 years later. Proped many times over to keep her going. The original plant is still here. I have used the root trimming method as well as trimming back and propagation. The rubber tree also with me 58 years later through air layering to make new plants. Sara is 4th generation. She has been tougher to keep around. I have always had a few plant's around but nothing major. I love nature and the promise of life, renewal, and growth it displys. When I contemplated retirement, it only seemed right to expand my collection and continue my nurturing nature. It is the perfect hobby for this retired nurse. I love to see the joy others get when gifted with a new infant plant. Without the support of my Greg family, it would not be as pleasurable not to mention how much I have learned.
I was feeling unfufilled after I lost a pet. It’s a bad time to take on a new furry friend and I found that taking care of plants helped me become excited to be home and unplug. It’s just “filling my cup up” to take care of another being. I found Greg from a plant I bought suggesting the app and I’m so glad to find what my fiancé calls “plant twitter” lol
My mother started my plant love, not only did she name me Jasmine but she also taught me compassion and love for all creatures great and small. As a child I was taught to not pick flowers because the bees need the food, but I was allowed to pick the ones with broken stems as they have no further use. I would buy my mum little cacti and herbs with my pocket money.
This love of nature always stayed with me. When I was 20 (omg that was 20 years ago haha) I was lucky enough to live in a huge historical building with immense gardens. I helped take care of them, prune the roses, mow the lawns, we also germinated seeds in a greenhouse and grew them into small plants to sell. This really taught me a good deal about plant care. I filled my room with tonnes of tropical plants. Unfortunately had to leave them all behind when I moved to Australia but I’m happy to own my own home now so I can truly do all I desire with my plant hoarding😛💕💚
My plants bring life to my spaces, give me joy watching their growth (especially new babies), and they purify the air which I appreciate as an allergy sufferer.
I began collecting plants when my youngest went off to college. Being a single Mom for so long, I wanted to have something to care for with both my girls gone. I thought I’d be lonely. Instead, it’s like “how is it Spring Break already?” 😹 When I became housebound with LongCovid, that’s when my plant addiction really set in. They give so much joy.
@TexanExpat what a beautiful explanation. Thank you for sharing💚🌱
I’ve always loved plants but never had the time or energy to care for them well. Now my plants represent the changes I’ve made over the last few years that have resulted in me having the time and energy and space I (and my plants) needed ❤️
My first ever plant was a gift from my mother and it's still alive to this day after many years! Being able to grow and nurture these plants gives me a sense of responsibility and adds more purpose to my life 💛 plus I find their development fascinating!
Hi everybody! I'm @PlantiePenguin! Sorry, I know I tagged myself! Lots of our plants are alive! Banana was named Banana because it looked like she was a banana. She is in my sister @LittleSongbird's oasis. Plants mean a lot to me because they are cute and fun. I also like the unicorn that you send in some of the giveaway. I hope that I will win! Thank you Greg. 💚 I love my plants, and my dream plant is Echeveria Lola! And I know you send the lollipop unicorn, but I like the ice cream one. My plants mean a lot to me. Ellie was named Ellie because she was an elephant bush! And I hope you like my other plants. Home Depot's plant barcode leads us to you. We love our plants! May the plants be with you, or was it force?
@sarahsalith That's an awesome story. Congratulations, you should be proud!

I work from home in Finance and my job is really stressful. My happy place has always been outside with plants and nature, so I decided to bring nature inside. Now I no longer have a panic attack the minute I enter my office.
My plants always give me something new to make me happy, new leaves, new blooms, hoyas trying to strangle their siblings or climbing to the ceiling. Unfortunately, there is sometimes a new stressor too, like mealy bugs, powdery mildew, and trying to figure out why leaves are turning yellow. 😀 But I view that as a challenge!
They give me something to nurture and care for.
@TexanExpat Solidarity, man. C-PTSD is a soul sucker. 👊🏻💚🪴
@Sassylimey it's growing so well! 💚
During the early weeks of COVID, I decided I wanted to make my home into a jungle. If I couldn’t travel, I would make the best of what I could do. It’s been trial and error with plants, and we’ve had some die along the way. However, my confidence with plants has grown exponentially. I no longer feel like I have a brown thumb. And to think, I started with one gifted snake plant in 2013 - and now I have a whole jungle.
@Sapphire9 @ArdentBluebroom @BusyChichipe @CordialSalsa @DollRainbow @WorkhorsePawpaw @x.hannah.x @YummyMahoe @ZingyParsley
For the longest time, I thought I had a black thumb because I would kill plant after plant when I was younger. And so I stopped touching them for a very long time!!! a few years ago, I saw this cute little sago palm at the hardware store and just had to get it. Within a few months, it started to die and I of course thought I messed up again. But I kept it on the windowsill and kept watering it for some reason. Lo and behold, it started sprouting again and I got such a huge sense of pride!!! Since then I have been gathering more plants and getting more confident in my care with them! And Greg helps so much! Here are some pics of my sago palm when it started sprouting again: the very image of hope!
#GregGiveaway I got into plant sort of accidentally. I purchased a bunch of Succulents from Lowes, knew nothing about Succulents, and had long since forgotten anything I had learned in Horticulture class in college. Pretty soon all the little Succulents on my Windowsill gave up their spirit! I thought to myself is that all there is? And I ventured into what I thought were more “serious “ plants! I was still completely clueless!!! I started with a Burgundy Rubber plant, and a Cornstalk Dracaena and I ran into Greg and Plant-mania ensued! Oh yes one more thing, some of you might remember my last post where I boasted about having received the last plant of 2023? Well forgive me, I lied, yes I lied I’m not proud of it, but I lied. Please accept my “mia culpa” because I ordered 5 more plants, and they already shipped, but from Fallbrook, CA that means its gonna take a couple of days. Well I have no pictures yet ! So I will list what I ordered: An Echeveria Agavoides Gold, an Echeveria Agavoides ‘Morgan’, an Echeveria Agavoides Lipstick, a Cyanotis Somaliensis, and a Kalanchoe Tomentosa! I can’t wait for them to arrive! Whodathunk that my innocent purchase of a few Succulents would lead to an out of control addiction? Nah don’t answer its a rhetorical question! Besides everyone here in this community is in the same boat, to varying degrees of course. Now let’s see if I can add some Pictures of the first two plants I got they are both from 2021. @sarahsalith @Sassylimey @JCPlantProper @vvvelo @BeesZenGarden @TwistedThreads @Stall54Jo
I enjoyed reading these posts so much. My plants are a HUGE stress reliever for me. I am currently a SAHM mostly for my oldest child who has significant special needs and we were fortunate I had the ability to leave my job. It’s now been 12yrs, we have 3 kids (4 if you count my hubs LOL). We up and moved, sold our house and lived in a rental until we found a house close enough to my son’s special school and hubs work. I always had a garden in some form but when finally got our house things changed. It probably took a good 5yrs to get settled, raise little kids before I had 5 seconds to myself. I’ve had a garden since I was a kiddo with my dad. 1 Mother’s Day I got a big garden built and had substantial house plants. 1 order came with a card for Greg and I’ve been here ever since. I love this app and my planty friends. Since Greg I’ve acquired probably 150 more plants 🤣🤣 I love it. Each plant brings me joy and sometimes late at night when the house is quiet I can lost for hours tending to my plants. 🪴 they help center me. 🪴😍
@LittleSongbird love those pretty pink tones !!! 🌸🩰💓 so sorry for your loss of your bird Annika! Luckily he can soar forever in bird heaven (: in the most beautiful garden too 🌥️🌈🌸✨🌞
Happy holidays 🪴🌲☃️❄️
Picking ppl at random @Ms.Persnickety @Gingerlymom @sarahsalith @UrbaneSunbright @Stall54Jo @Sapphire9 @TidyTigerpear
I never had luck with plants. Regardless, during the lockdown I decided to try and grow some vegetables in my living room window. I started with bok choy, green onion and lemon basil. From there I started caring for houseplants. I realized that I enjoyed them much more than growing vegetables and fighting off fungus gnats. My favorite plant is Dieter, my dieffenbachia. I grew Dieter from a cutting that a friend gave me. Seeing Dieter’s growth over the years has been an amazing thing. Caring for Dieter, as well as my other leafy green babies, helped me keep my head during the pandemic lockdown and even now. My caring for Dieter helped me care for my mental well being.
Both my mother and father were avid gardeners, and when my siblings and I were young, they gave us a little space to create our own gardens. They would give us big seeds for a little hands, like nasturtiums, and taught us how to plant seeds, water, and care for the plants. Indoors, my mother raised African violets, and the occasional English IV. When I moved out and had my own place, I tried the typical spider plants and Moses in the cradle, and had some successes, but never really got into it too heavily. It wasn’t until Covid when my daughter developed an avid passion for tropical house plants that I truly got into the same. It’s a big switch from hearty outdoor plants to tender tropicals but I love learning! So Greg and the #GregGang have been amazing resources for learning and becoming an indoor tropical plant mom too! Favorites are Hoyas syngonium, some philodendrons and evidently snake plants because I have 4 of them and want another I see at #plantproper 👍🐍🪴 Crushing though on my little Hilo Beauty right now. Every day it makes me smile 😊 Love all the knowledge @sarahsalith @FitBrowallia @Hypsie @dreamlettuce @Sassylimey @Stall54Jo @TidyTigerpear @JCPlantProper @Ms.Persnickety @TexanExpat @Michelle5986 @HoyaAddict @Jana85 @kaleena @Lifeis2short @LittleSongbird @PlantiePenguin @RealSimpleMama @Sapphire9 @UltraKoreanfir @A.J. @Bunny413 @GaryPoopins @GatherandGrow
@MariansOasis lol not sure how the pic of the hubby/father of the bride👰 snuck in there 😆😅🥹 lol photo bombing! 🤪
@MariansOasis 🤣 love the photobombing! Beautiful plants and story thanks so much for sharing 💕
@DanDeLión I have to thank Covid for bringing so many people to the hobby! Your diffenbachia is stunning! 🤩
@DynamoChichipe I love this so much. Glad you persevered! 💕
When I was younger I couldn’t see myself living past 18 because of my depression. I’ve always been so hard on myself and my plants have reminded me that I need to be patient to see things grow and that everything takes time. If you put in effort to love and care for yourself (like your plant babies) a little each day it can really make a difference. 🌿💚 In dark times, they turn towards the sun.
Ten years ago I was ending an abusive marriage to an addict, a diagnosed NPD, and I was diagnosed with CPTSD. Life everyday was a 1000 foot free fall for a while. I couldn’t control anything, but if you know anything about addiction you know it’s not from lack of trying. I had to get out of my control cycles, and surrender, which over time led me to purchase my first set of succulents. Having plants forced me to get up and open the blinds every day. To shed light on me, my kids, my surroundings and put one foot in front of the other. I got really sick during the pandemic and was on full bed rest with a chronic illness. I bought a plant for my room, and another, and another. Again, I had to get up and open my blinds. Yes I have kids, but they’re older and independent. So I had to find something to do for me, my therapist said “find a hobby to do DAILY “ to help me do one thing at a time, one day at a time. Here I am, off bed rest, recovering and getting my health back, slowly. Plants taught me there’s a lot going on under the surface we can’t see, until that new leaf or root sprouts- which is a lot like our own lives.
@TheOddAsity thank you for sharing your story. I'm walking the same path at the moment. Some days are so emotional. ♥️ I'm glad I'm not alone.
