On August 17th, my wife, who I loved so deeply & unconditionally, unexpectedly passed away at the age of 47. We met each other in high school at the age of 16, & from that point forward we shared a journey of boundless love, a long history, & a wholesome connection filled with wonderful memories that also included many of life's challenges that all marriages face. With much success, we navigated through all of that. We shared many triumphs, which allowed us to uphold a bond & a connection that can only be formed with time, patience, & a deep desire for unending commitment & companionship. 12 years ago, we introduced into this world a magnificent being, our son, our shining star. My son & I, along with our family & friends, have undoubtedly suffered a deeply profound loss. The magnitude of her passing, & the ever-present void that tremendously becomes more real as the time moves forward weighs heavily, & the obstacles that we have been forced to face in the past few short weeks have been complicated & demanding. During this time, I decided to temporarily close the shop so that I may shift all of my focus upon my son to make sure all of his needs & care are met first before mine. In light of these few short weeks, we stand strong & additionally remain determined in these uncharted waters to reset the stage. Together, my son & I are beginning to enter a new path of repair, recovery, to rebuild a new life one day at a time. I wanted to extend our heartfelt thankfulness for all of your support, kindness, generosity, & most importantly, your patience while we navigate through this. For those who have lost someone you love are the ones who truly know & fully understand the magnitude. Even as a florist, sensitive, attentive, & sympathetic, ...I was always able to feel my customers' energy. Now, my understanding has reached a new meaning. I'm hoping to be back at the shop soon, & will keep you updated.
