What a beautiful post 😍 I identify with you a lot because I also have a couple of plants that are “family”. The favorite, but don't let the others hear me, is a Jade that is about 17 years old and has been with me through thick and thin, my daughter named him Oppa 😊.
Beautiful your plant, in December I gave one to my sister in law, but I don't have one, I think I'll go get one as soon as I can. success!
