She got sick.
The lemon tree’s leaves withered
She went to the doctor.
She went to the doctor.
We called in a tree surgeon
She started chemotherapy.
She started chemotherapy.
The surgeon lopped off diseased limbs
Her dry skin cracked. The new shoots withered
Her toes turned black. Cut down to a stump.
Prognosis negative. We dug up the roots

I love the image! It suits the 55 well.
Ah well I wish you lemons!
i'm so sorry. may the love you've shown her bear fruit though.
When I was just a lad of ten, my father said to me,
Come here and learn a lesson from the lovely lemon tree.
Don’t put your faith in love, my boy, my father said to me,
I fear you’ll find that love is like the lovely lemon tree.
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
I hope all turns out well.
I feel she'll rebound beautifully. Sometimes it takes that drastic paring down before new life can find its space.
Fingers crossed!
Its always a miracal how some things will grow.
I hope this isn't for real. How could you bear more sadness?
whatever it is that drives you, Cathy your words get better and better; this is a beautiful piece of writing, whether literal or metaphoric
lotsa luv ann xxxxx
you are certainly good at this!! very nice one..
But it's got ... high hopes! It's got ... high hopes!
Oh wait. I just realized that's for Rubber Tree Plants.
Nevermind then. Carry on.
What a strange coincidence. You know how I feel about your situation and that the whole family is behind you (so if you could just move up a bit..it's awfully cramped in here) love to yaya and that's as mushy as I'm getting here so etc. etc. etc.!
Cathy, that is so endearing.
