It was tragic.… _Postat av NattieB55 den 2026-10-05_ Recently my best friend lost her husband of 38 years. It was tragic. Even more tragic was the number of lovely planters she received because she is NOT a plant person. She worried she would lose all of the plants, too. And as we all know, anyone would struggle with those planters where they put a peace lily, a flaming Katy and an orchid all together! So I took them, separated into smaller pots and provided her a new set up with grow lights and everything she needs for care. I went to my local plant store for care cards and even painted some of the pots with logos from some of her husband’s favorite things. She was so happy and has kept everything alive for the last month! ![Bilaga 1 av 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4TZy055L7__fOtyKxbq1-IWuCyenB-bQ4fCfVktx3sY/Zjb8zNuATnCJzHGfEe9Emw.webp?size=large) ![Bilaga 2 av 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4TZy055L7__fOtyKxbq1-IWuCyenB-bQ4fCfVktx3sY/W6I_G8mxSueBjN2uA1DCwQ.webp?size=large) ![Bilaga 3 av 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4TZy055L7__fOtyKxbq1-IWuCyenB-bQ4fCfVktx3sY/B4N49xuERZGn-EjREs0jWg.webp?size=large) ![Bilaga 4 av 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4TZy055L7__fOtyKxbq1-IWuCyenB-bQ4fCfVktx3sY/aNNCU9ACSk-OmihVP0NApw.webp?size=large) ## 9 kommentarer ### TessDV kommenterade den 2026-10-05 Wow!

Good for you! ### Plantingsherry kommenterade den 2026-10-05 That’s a great story! I thought you were going to say she gave them to you, but you did everything you needed to do so she could be successful herself and have something new to care about. You’re my hero today. ### Dot2462 kommenterade den 2026-10-05 Your story gave me goosebumps.

What a beautiful friend you are 🥹💚 ### NattieB55 kommenterade den 2026-10-06 You are all very sweet. Honestly it was the least I could do for a her. And made me think about all the years I sent planters to funerals thinking they were better than fresh flowers. I never thought about whether the person receiving them would be able or want to care for them! ### Light Green Thumb kommenterade den 2026-10-06 That was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. To ease the burden from another is one of the greatest gifts you can give ❤️ --- _Planta-communityn (https://getplanta.com). Läsning är öppen för alla.
