I like to think of our family as a beautiful mixed bouquet….
flowers…sprouted from individual seeds…that grow a little every day.
Every flower is magnificent…unique in their own way…
and when combined with all the other flowers…add to the beauty of the bouquet.
And we find we cherish moments when the bouquet is in full bloom…
when every member of the family…in the same place…the same room.
For it is when all the flowers are assembled…say for birthday’s or holidays…
that we get to experience the beauty of the complete…the entire bouquet.
But we also like to take time every now and then even if it’s only for an hour…
to sit down with individual family members and experience the beauty of their flower.
Which is where you would have found us yesterday…at a restaurant…having fun
while eating tuna melts and French fries…with only one grandson.
We sat together talking, eating…laughing…for about an hour…
one Nana and one PopPop enjoying the beauty of one flower.
We hugged our grandson and smiled as we watched him drive away…
having been reminded how the beauty of one flower
adds to the overall beauty of our bouquet.
