Happy Mother's Day

 

This is a picture of my kitchen window! Every year for the past 10 at least, David has bought me a rose bush or some other kind of flowering plant for Mother's Day. He wanted something which would last longer than a week.

This is a picture of my kitchen window with just a few of the beautiful blooms from those bushes.

It is especially meaningful to me this year since he's no longer here, in a way he is still giving me roses for Mother's Day.....and many other days of the year.

This is just one of the many reasons I love this house so much. Not only did we raise the kids here, but so much love is planted here as well.

Mother's Day has always been more about David giving to me for being the mother to the kids, than the kids thanking me for being their mother. Not sure why that is. :)! Along with the flowers, I always asked the kids to write me a letter and I hung those on a wall. As they've grown, those letters turned into candles and flowers and gifts. The kids said that they can "afford" something more....ah, kids. They won't really understand until they have kids of their own, right? I miss the letters.

I woke up this morning sad. I missed my honey waking me up with some coffee....even more than ever. I so badly wanted this to all be a bad dream and that he'd be waiting for me downstairs with my flowering plant. But of course....he is gone. So I came down, gave the dog her morning bone, started some coffee and opened my email.

Then I spotted it! My youngest had planted a new plant in a corner of our yard we have just cleared. After I went to bed last night...he just went out and put it in the ground for me. What an angel. It's a hibiscus, and I doubt he even knows it was his dad's favorite flower....it reminded him of Hawaii. :) Nothing could have made me happier....to know my baby notices and wants to make me happy. His dad would be so proud!
