I'm not particularly fond of receiving flowers but I do love gifting them. In a sense, I think I am more of a practical person who prefers receiving presents that are lasting or functional, like a handmade card or a frying pan. That said, I do acknowledge the power of a beautiful bouquet and I've seen how it can brighten up a home and bring joy, comfort and solace. Many of my good friends love flowers and even my daughters said that they love them too because "Flowers are pretty" and "Flowers make me happy".
As my girls grow up, I wish to let them know that it's perfectly okay to have their own likes and dislikes which might be vastly different from mine or from each other. I want them to know that as individuals, they have the freedom to choose their own paths in life and write their unique stories too. So even if they love things that I never felt affection for, like flowers, durians and creepy crawlies, by all means, go ahead.
Recently, I decided to present the little girl with a surprise bouquet because I wanted to congratulate her on receiving her first Edusave Merit Award. I wanted her to know I was so proud of her and despite the award ceremony being cancelled, she is already a champion in my eyes. Read my post on the blog today to find out how the big sister and I surprised her, made her feel special and shared a special moment that we will always remember.
Thanks to FARM Florist for this beautiful bouquet which contains a very important message I have for my dear daughter. That is, to bloom where you are planted. For you can and you will.
P.S. I also hand delivered two bloom boxes to a couple of my good friends to send them some love and hope. These were from One Hour Florist which guarantees to deliver your order to your doorstep within 60 minutes or you will get a full refund. Woohoo! Swipe to see more. Remember, flowers do not bloom without a little rain and every flower blooms at a different pace. We just have to try to make life fruitful, even when it throws lemons at us, and be reminded we are never alone in this journey.
