Last night ( I was already in bed) my son called me and told me he's fallen in love . He's 36, never married. two long term broken hearted relationships had soured him on trying. So when he asked me to pick a vase of flowers for him to give her I was happy to oblige. And here is where the triumph came in. 6 months ago I'd had to have said no. I would not have been physically able to do it. I couldn't walk then-he wouldn't even have asked.
Although I was already in bed when DH told me a big storm was headed in, I got up, threw on the flood lights and walked through my gardens ( even down steps to get to snapdragons) and picked a bouquet & came in and arranged it. Once I grew , cut , arranged and sold my organic flowers. It has been years since I was able to do more than the Daffs right next to my door. A BIG Happy Deal for me these flowers. Surely the girl will melt with that much love & joy in this vase.

awwww that made me all warm and fuzzy. So happy for you

Hey!! That's awesome, fairy! What a cool thing.

It is really great to hear that you are able to start to do things you love to do again. That alone should be a very good motivator to stay on the path to a healthier you!

That is so beautiful!! I'm so glad you could make that gesture for your son, we're all proud of you!!!

That is all full of awesome! Do you share pictures of your flowers?

Thanks everyone. I tried to insert picture and couldn't figure out how to upload straight from my laptop. I don't have a url for pics. Anyone know how?

If you use the website TINYPIC dot Com you can upload a picture there, then it will give you a URL to use.

That's so beautiful thank you for sharing! How lucky this girl is to have a such a caring MIL-to-be (possibly!)
