This is Pam

This is Pam

Yes, Pam is a tree

Pam was given to me by my hospice patient, 

the other Pam, before she passed away.

Pam knew that someone needed to care

for her plant when she died and

she asked me to do it. I told her that I
was probably not the best one to care for it

because I was terrible at keeping house plants 

alive and that the plant would probably die

in my care. Her response was, 'if it stays

here, it will definitely die'. She 

assured me that I would do just fine and 

explained how she cared for it.

I took the tree home and named it Pam.

Everyone knows that I talk to her 

and do my best to keep her alive.

She has lost some leaves and has been 

over watered at times. If you look closely

you can see there are little skewers sticking

out of the soil. That is because my wonderful cat

decided to pee on Pam, funny, but not funny.

Those stakes are deterrents so that

Pam is not degraded again by my cat. So 

far so good. Pam is still alive and has 

recovered pretty well from all of the changes 

that occurred over the past year or so

since she moved with me. Pam has been through 

a lot and so have I, as her caregiver.

It has been a series of triumphs and failures.

The point is; She is still alive and 

I am still trying really hard to keep it that way.

I do believe that everything has a life force 

energy within them and Pam is no different.

She wants to live and has done a great job of 

weathering the storms of change.

Working together Pam and I will survive.

Working together we will all survive.

Please, never give up
