There is a tree that is not as leafy as others but that is very special in my father's lands, years ago there were many trees in these courtyards but one was needed, but a very special one like a lemon tree, this fruit is very important in every garden because it is like a medicinal helper and can not be missing because we always need to raise our defenses, cure some cold and strengthen our immune system, so my mother took a small lemon plant and planted it in the hope of seeing it grow and enjoy its fruits.

Years passed and the plant became an adult and began to bloom my mother was very happy about the good results, and she kept taking care of this tree with fertilizer, water and nutrients so that it would be a strong plant that would bear good fruits, in the summer my mother made big jugs of super refreshing lemonade at every family gathering and it was her spoiled tree, she did not let them take their fruits when the sun was very strong. It was a tree that has been very useful to us especially in the pandemic to keep our body strong and prepare different infusions, my mother got heart sick and it's a pity that in this case the lemon tree was not great medicine to help save her but my mother even in her most critical days asked to take care of her pampered tree "the lemon tree".

This tree spent time in neglect and began to wither and even looked sad it seemed that just like the family missed Mom who watered and talked to her every day with a lot of affection, after a while we started to take care of it as she did, or at least we tried and today we see it bloom again and rewards the affection with good fruits again, this tree teaches us that nature also misses those who provide care and is that the creator wants us to take care of every plant on our planet earth.

We will never forget Mom's love and this lemon tree is located in the middle of the path to the patio, so when we pass by there we will always remember mom taking care of her favorite tree and she makes us smile, it's as if mom told us "since you pass by give love to my favorite tree" the human being can take great advantage of his passage through life and leave beautiful actions and wonderful memories if he wishes. This is now the family's favorite lemon tree and we will take care of it whenever possible, we use it for lemonades, to take shade, with its fruit we make sweets, cure colds, and prevent respiratory viruses, who would say that Mom took care of us so much in life and after leaving us physically she would continue taking care of us through everything she left here for us? It is a comforting balm for me to have this tree as a mom's gift for everyone .

I hope you enjoy the reading and the story of Mom's lemon tree, and if you also have trees in your yards, especially planted by someone who is no longer there, you can take care of them as the one who planted it did. Greetings to all and thanks for the opportunity of this theme for the week, it was a pleasure to participate.
