good news about the current deadline is I finally found those very necessary words, “the end.” The bad

surprised me this spring by picking a tiny bouquet of grape hyacinths and
putting them in a small blue vase. Just for no reason.”
When I contacted Beth for permission to share the word image of her surprise bouquet, she added this about her daughter, Becca. “Just a proud Mama note I would like to share, Becca graduated
this past Friday. She received 7 awards for her academics. The English, Latin,
Science awards as well as valedictorian. What makes
this remarkable – Becca is dyslexic and couldn’t read until 4th
grade. This is what God can do with hard work and desire. Now you can’t get her
to put books down.”
Don’t you love proud Mamas and happy stories?
The last story tonight (maybe a couple more flower stories Sunday) we hear from the other side of the bouquets. Mary Ann says, “I remember picking bouquets of purple and white violets and of daffodils for my family when I was little. That always felt incredibly special to me.” Then she added, “Oh wait! Think on, my wonderful eight-year-old son occasionally brings me the decapitated heads of daffodils and grape hyacinths and roses from our garden now, as Lovely Bouquets. :D”
