I want my mom's Meyer Lemon tree!
Comments (7)Citrus is very easy to airlayer that way you could get an exact clone of the mother plant but hers is probably grafted so you might either want to graft one onto an existing roostock or just buy one. I have a couple grafted Meyers lemons that I got from Home Depot. They are loaded down with fruit. I am keeping them in large pots for now since I am near the Jax area. You could also weigh down a branch and set a brick on it and cover a few nodes with soil to get an air layer. I had a buddah's hand branch that kinda fell down and rooted itself in 4 different places and made a huge buddah's hand fruit underneath the soil!! LOL. In the winter, when I moved the pot, I cut that branch into 4 pieces and now have 4 new little trees....See Morei want to smell my mom one more time
Comments (5)Hi Berniceann, My mother passed away on 8 June this summer. I miss her a great deal but I truly feel I will see her again when it's my time to go Home to God. I felt like you are now when my dad died young from cancer at 59. I was 21. Everything felt horrible to me. Time is a healer. It took me 2 years to start letting go and thinking of my dad at peace and no longer suffering. I agree with getting some help. At the very least can you talk to you doctor about this? Call and book a long appointment. I feel for you. My Mom was 81 and unwell for many years. This time I found myself grieving before she passed on to be with my Dad. I grieved for her loss of independence, zest and being the Mom I knew when she had better health. Your Mom would be very sad to see you feeling this way. If she were here would she not want you to get some help? Did your Mom have a favorite perfume, soap? Sometimes that helps. There is a great book called Echos of the Soul by E. Bodine. A friend lent it to me and I found it very comforting. It may be available in your library. Please keep talking to us. We are here for you. Are you an only child? Is there another family member you can talk to? I can be contacted through my members page if you want to talk. I understand your pain and I know depression. There is light. There is love for you. Please email me if you would like to just talk. I'm a great listener. Hugs to you, Peggy...See MoreI want to be there for my mom...How??
Comments (2)Hello Alisha, I wanted to add to the wise advice given above. It's possible that due to the overwhelming effects of hormones on your Mom's mood, she may need an antidepressant to help her cope right now. This is where the MD comes in -- he/she most likely would be willing to give your Mom a script for medication, and if your Mom is struggling to the degree you described, she may find some relief from taking it. I know I did. Also have your Mom ask the doctor to check her Vitamin D levels. I was shocked to discover I had almost none, even though I made it a point to get sunshine. Vitamin D affects many aspects of our physical health, and I wouldn't be surprised if your Mom's levels are low. The fact that you are there to offer her your support and comfort is wonderful. What a huge blessing you are to your Mom! It must be difficult to see her going through this, but please know your Mom's symptoms will slowly but surely start to improve in the next year or so. She's already been going through the worst of it. It's sad that many people don't understand the first thing about menopause. It's important that your Dad recognizes this is not "all in her head." The physical and emotional changes resulting from hormonal fluctuations are vey real and significant. Reassure your Dad that your Mom won't be in this phase forever, that she is still the same wonderful person, and she needs comfort and moral support. She's not crazy at all, she's snapping because she feels she's not being heard and there's a chance she isn't. Men seem to want to solve problems when a lot of the time a woman is just looking for some validation and reassurance. You are the sunshine in your Mom's life right now, and those walks are lifesavers in terms of stress reduction and overall health. Hopefully your parents can get out to see a movie or enjoy a nice dinner and perhaps take some walks together too. Please tell your Mom there is a rainbow at the end of the storm and she's close to seeing it. God bless you for being such a loving daughter!...See MoreMy girlfriend wants me to stop talking to my baby's mom
Comments (18)ok renaruto this may be a case in which you provided way too much info and details about your ex wife to your new girlfriend and now she is using that against you which imo is immature and only shows how insecure she really is, i only say that because this exact situation has happened to me before only thing different is that my son is 5 yo and is unable to keep a cell phone....women can be very good at hiding their true feelings about certain issues to get you to open up to them and disclose unnecessary information and due to their own insecurities will make you the bad guy when all you were doing from the get go is being totally honest ...i do believe that sometimes theres such a thing as being too honest...did you really have to tell your new gf that your ex wife still wants you?... by saying that you set your self up for constant drama and nagging everytime she contacts you whether it is important or not...any way the answer to your problem lies in your heart i made my decision to make my son a priority and had to break up with my previous gf the good thing was that i am now with a woman who understands and supports my decision to be a good father and doesnt question the communication between me and my sons mother it is truly a beautiful feeling to not feel like you have to choose sides between the ones you love if she really loves and respects you she will trust you and leave it all up to you to set boundaries with your ex wife without having to butt in...hope this advice is not too late...See Moresocks
