I never thought I would hear this...

A delivery day: rush, rush. early morning. deliveries!
 
I push the buzzer and the intercom continues to ring for a couple of minutes.When the woman finally answers she is very confused and surprised about receiving a gift.
 
"Are you sure it's for me?"


I then wait patiently at the retirement home entrance for the woman to come get her flowers.
 
Check the time. Check driving route. Text hubby. Check email...Finally someone lets me in. 
 
A very sweet woman asks in a shy tone if I am the one looking for Mme Anna*. When I introduce myself and explain that the flowers are for her, her face just lights up. 
 
With a trembling,and excited voice that breaks with emotion, the 85 year old woman says
 
“I have never received flowers before!"
 
My heart melts, my eyes water, and I honestly feel like I just want to hug her … I am speechless.
 
Some things we just take for for granted.
"What do you mean? Every woman has gotten flowers!" 
 
Well, not every woman.

Anna turns out to be a retired teacher and nun with no children of her own. The person who sent her flowers is the mother of 2 children who are now in their 30’s, who remembered her dearly and decided to give her a bouquet of flowers in gratitude for her kindness and life lessons she had taught her kids. What a nice and sweet gesture! 
 
You don't need a special occasion to give flowers.

You just need someone special.
 
Who will you give flowers to this month?
