So I received an interesting question the other day and I had to share, because it really made me stop, because to be honest, I got a little emotional, and without tearing up I’d like to share
The question was: When you see a specific flower, do you think of someone special in your life?
The answer is YES! I have many, but I will share one maybe two🌹
Gladiolus, Roses and Hydrangeas make me think of my beautiful grandmother that I never had the pleasure of meeting, because she passed the same year I was born. But the memories and stories of her live within my mother, siblings, aunts and uncles who’ve shared so many memories of her over my 32 years of life.
I’m forever grateful for it. I think of the time I've spent with my mom and continue to spend with my mom in the garden as she’s sharing stories of my grandmother while we are playing in the dirt planting roses(they also make me think of my amazing mom)and it’s a reminder of what a beautiful connection one flower can bring to so many generations.
I may not have been blessed to meet my grandmother, but I feel so connected to her because of the deep connection I have with my mom and flowers, and it’s truly a blessing.
So I will ask all of you, When you see a specific flower, do you think of someone special in your life? And who is that person to you?
