I understand perfectly ... I have a couple of plants that were given to me by my dear mom over thirty years ago, and a Hoya carnosa that was given to me @ 1976 by dear elderly friends who were in their mid 80's at the time. The friends have been gone many years now and my mom passed over six years ago, so those plants hold a lot of sentimental value for me!
