Green Things

Anthony's mom, Theresa, gave me two beautiful, flowering succulents over the Christmas break. They were an especially meaningful gift because they originally belonged to Ms. Wilson, her green-thumbed neighbor and an old Delgado family friend and babysitter. She and Ila Creel made the best oatmeal raisin cookies together, and were always in charge at the church's "dinner on the grounds". I wonder if they are both looking down from heaven now. I dare say yes, as the plants are still alive.
