Flowers and Some More Flowers

When my mother (and father too) had big milestone birthdays friends and relatives would come. It was not an option to have a party, people would come anyway. When they came, they would all bring flowers. On my mother's 70th birthday she received over 100 roses! If I remember right, the same was true on her 60th birthday as well. If I was not able to be at home for these birthdays, my mother would make sure that I received photographs in the mail. She loved flowers.

My sister-in-law Cindy remembered how I always talked about the amount of flowers that my mother would get on her birthday. So on Thursday night when my niece and her family (Cindy's daughter) walked into the restaurant where I was waiting for them, all five of them came carrying flowers! I wish I could have taken a picture at that moment. Cindy could not have dinner with me, but she wanted to make sure that I would get flowers on my birthday! I was so blessed!

The next day at work I was doing this and that in the morning when my dear friend Rindy walked in with a beautiful card and flowers!

I don't think Rindy had any idea how special it was that she gave me flowers! I am feeling so blessed!

I hope that these flowers have brightened your day (or evening) as well!
