to all the plants that have been killed under my watch. i'm sorry.
(dedicated to jackie for bringing this brilliant idea to my attention during a boring french day)
to every billy, simon, leonard, shirley, lucy, and harold that i've ever had.
i'm sorry i wasn't the best caretaker. i'm sorry i didn't feed you enough to sustain you, and more often than not forgot about you. i really am, sorry that is. i thought i was ready to handle and take on a couple lives but i really wasn't. that was my fault. it was a bad judgement call but i promise to take care of the next ones. i promise to treat my next plants as my children because really, plants sustain us as human beings.
i don't think i appreciated my small plants enough. you all had an entire life ahead of you, to grow and prosper. i destroyed that chance and i'm sorry, truly i am.
now you're compost in another plant's pot but at least you're being taken care of.
appreciate mother nature, because really, everyday is earth day.
