Poor Philip. Philip was the name of my cactus that sat in my window. My dad came into my room this morning around 9:30 to open my window. He was turing on the house exhaust fan. I have a thick black curtan over my window and Philip sits on a metal homemade shelf. I guess my dad didn’t know he was there, went to open the curtain and knocked him over. Philip fell over and….and broke in half. I know it was an accident. My dad probably feels really bad about it. I woke up right away to help clean up the mess of dirt and such. I still have to do more cleaning of it but that won’t happen until Monday after school. I don’t know if I could care Philip back to life or not. He has two little spurts of cacti coming up beside him that might still make it. I tried Googling something but I couldn’t find anything.

Awww, I’m sorry. You might be able to nurse him back to health, sometimes they re-root. Don’t lose hope!
