MOTHER'S DAY

Well, as a florist and as a woman that waited almost 20 years to become a mom...I can write a book on the subject of Mother's Day.

The personal emotions combined with the stress of owning a flower shop during this holiday can really test someones faith.

However, my book would have a very happy ending. After many years of serving thousand of customers buying flowers for Mom...after many many years of answering "NO NOT YET" to the famous question by these same customers..."Are you a Mom?...well happy Mother's Day anyways" After all those years of yearning...My Lord did bless me and I finally became "MOM" to my beautiful daughter Angel.

Now, let me tell the story of my first Mother's Day at my flower shop in 2005.

I left my house at 6:00 a.m. Angel stayed home with her Daddy. She was about 20 months at the time. The day was crazy at the shop very busy but I enjoyed every single moment and I answered "YES, YES , OH YES I am a Mom...thank-you!!"

At around 2:00 p.m. I was sitting on the floor of my store happily receiving a birthday gift from my little Dahlia (Angel's best friend from China). Many friends and family were there too...as I looked up at the front door I saw the most amazing vision of my life. There she was...all dressed in pink with a pink hat on, a smile on her face and a pink gift bag in her hand... my little miracle came over to me and hugged and kissed me...Oh I cried...actually everyone cried and it was by far one of the most incredible moments of my life. I melted in her little arms and finally felt the joy that only a mother can feel on this special day and once again I felt GOD'S love for me.

And yes we are living Happy Ever After.

Happy Mother's Day
