Some of you know that 2019 was stressful for our family and there were days when I thought I’d seriously lose my mind. And apparently, I lost at least a portion of it.
When my mom passed on December 5th, the Hospice team gave me this flower. Just like all the other flowers I’ve received, I gave it fresh water everyday and lovingly cared for it.
On January 27th it occurred to me that this flower has been alive a really long time. Hospice must have an amazing flower supplier. I decided to feel the petals to see if they were starting to wilt. Nope, they haven’t changed a bit because they are not even real! I was so proud that I kept it alive for so long!
My mom is looking down from heaven, shaking her head, laughing and probably thinking what an idiot I am.
