The best part of my day is gradually becoming the daily walks to the end of my street and back with my mom. It's a half mile and takes us 45 minutes. But they are precious to me bc I know every passing day makes that experience more scarce. 
Mom knows her plants. I asked her why she never got into gardening...her reply, "bc you recognize and understand different plants and what purpose they serve does not make you a Gardner. Your dad is a gardener, I am not." 
Now, keep in mind she doesn't know what month it is or who the current president is. But she recognizes her plants and their medicinal values. 

The steps are slow and small, but the conversations are priceless.
