Gather round, boys and girls. It's story time!
Once upon a time, there a was a girl. This girl was very sick, and had to go far away from home to get better. While she understood why she had to leave, it still made her very sad.
She spent her days locked in tower, with no hope of escape. The walls were stark, and the air artificial. The whole place seemed devoid of life, love, and happiness.
One day, the girl's mother brought her something to help brighten her day. That something was a Christmas Cactus. Green, waxy leaves sprouted from dry dirt. It was placed on a window ledge that barley received any sunlight. The girl was convinced that the cactus would soon die.
But it didn't die. That cactus persevered through even the darkest and most depressing days. And surprisingly, so did the girl. Together, they grew until both were strong, and could leave the tower and return home.
And to this day, they still bloom, happy and free. The most unlikely things are sometimes the most resilient, and we all will flower in our own time.
