A houseplant is dying. Tell it why it should live. Dear Mint: Do you feel a little bit better now? I’m so sorry for what just happened to you. It was all my fault. I’m a fool! I should have come home earlier. But, trust me! you will get it over. You are a mint. Mints are born to be extremely resistant to harsh environment. Remember the day you were delivered to me? You were tired after a long journey and looked shriveled just like you are now. And I placed you in the soft bed and fed you some clear water. After resting for a night, you recovered. I felt surprised at your strong stem and juicy leaves. Every vein and hair you own was shining. We were friends since then. Every dusk I come to the balcony to see if you are thirsty or not. And every dawn I come to see if the sunshine satisfy you. You know what? I love your smell. That special fragrance is better than any perfume on earth. Please persist My dear friend,. Remember your dream of having a baby? It’ll come true soon for autumn is coming. You will have tiny and cute flowers. And I will collect your baby seeds and plant them around you. You will be a fantastic mom! Aren’t you excited now? Please keep up. Drink the water slowly and have asweet dream tonight. I’m just here. I’ll always be here. Yours, Irene
