My gardenia is starting to get worried about me being gone this weekend. Actually that’s not true as I haven’t told it yet about my plans as I fear it’s reaction. My gardenia will be left in the hands of my mother and sister and while I wouldn’t say I don’t trust them, I will say that there’s a competition at play and my mother hates losing. I’m hopeful that daily FaceTime will let the gardenia know how much I love and miss it but in my heart I would not be sad if I had someone else to blame for it’s inevitable demise.
