I'm being philosophical now. This lemon grass plant signifies the relationship between me and the bf. I found this plant when we went camping. I saw its potential and brought it home to try out my gardening skills. (I suck at gardening) not knowing what to do I planted in yard. bf rescued plant and placed in water for new roots to shoot. Plant looked like it was on its last legs. I threw it in garbage. He convinced me to give the plant a fighting chance. I said what the heck after pulling it out the garbage. I planted it in the yard gardeners cut it like a weed with a whacker. I was crushed. I didn't even go to look at it. Bf rescued it and there I saw it was sprouting new leaves. Plant has shown resilience.

I'm usually the one to throw in the towel when I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. Im impatient with low tolerance. He brings patience and tolerance. He's always reminding me that shit will happen and I shouldn't give up on us. By compromising, acknowledging and allowing your partner to soar with their strengths and work on improving your own weaknesses. We can all soar to new heights and improve our relationships. I hope this story inspires us on our ttc journey. Don't give up.
