I was away for a few days at a gathering of my friends from college. We'd been gettiing together almost once a year since 1994 but COVID put the breaks on and we hadn't seen each other since 2018. So being together was really special this time. I drove home on Sunday, May 12th to find a special Mother's Day gift from my son who lives near Seattle.
Then ten days later I pulled out the flowers that were dead and made a smaller bouquet. Still beautiful!
Then this morning, two full weeks after the flowers arrived I had to toss most of them....except the four dried roses. These I will keep as a beautiful reminder of Todd's special gift. Look at the color!
I'm sure our first-born sent the original bouquet because it looked so beautiful on-line, and it was. I don't think he imagined that it would bring such long-term pleasure to his far-away-mom!
