My mom's nickname for me when I was little bitty was "flowergirl". She gave me this because I picked "flowers" for her from the woods behind our house. She would always put them in a vase, and never gave me grief for bringing in weeds!
I really loved that about my mom... she would see the good in things, and she made you feel proud of the littlest things you had done.
Momma would have loved to see all the flowers that were sent for her service. I picked several stems from each spray and brought them home with me. I sat a large vase of them on my desk at work the next week. Seeing and smelling them made me think of her and helped to brighten my day and the day of others around me.
Took a few pictures of them, but they were starting to get a little wilty. Wish I had done it sooner.
I also had a sweet friend bring me over a bouquet of tulip, my favorite! They brightened my attitude and living room for a while!
I miss Mom so much today, but I'm so grateful for her and the many things she taught me.
