Giving flowers to my mom wasn't just about the flowers; it created a special connection between
the happy memories we've shared and the love we'll continue to have. The gesture of giving flowers
went beyond the physical, creating a bridge between memories and future moments. Expressing love and
gratitude doesn't always demand grand gestures. In my attempt to convey my appreciation for my mother,
I decided on a classic yet powerful act—giving her a flower. The process was filled with anticipation,
from carefully choosing which flower to imagining the warmth of her smile upon receiving them. Little
did I know, this simple gesture would unfold into a heart-warming story, etching lasting memories.

As I handed her the flower, it wasn't just a flower; it was a connection between our shared
memories and the moments yet to come. Choosing the flower turned into a heartfelt experience.
Navigating through the shops that make long-lasting flowers, my goal was clear: selecting which kind of
flower mirrored my sentiments. I contemplated if I would give her a fresh flower, a ribbon flower or a
crochet flower, In the end, I chose a ribbon flower that would last for a long time until she came home
from abroad. Roses for love a flower that spoke louder than words. The act of giving unfolded during my
call to her, the flower became the messenger of emotions. I showed her the flower that I bought along
with the necklace that I’ve been keeping for a long time.

Giving flowers was more than just a tangible act; it was a means of bridging the gap between the past and
the present. The flower found a new purpose, becoming a fixture on our table—a perpetual reminder of
that special afternoon. The flowers may become old and dirty, but the emotions and memories they
represent will continue, adding a timeless bond with my mother. It was proof that sometimes, it's the
uncomplicated gestures that leave the most profound impressions.
