My Mother's Flowers

My Mother's Flowers

 

 

 

            I can’t imagine a day being in my house without seeing my mother excited arriving with both of her hands full of flowers.  She doesn’t really care about the type of flower, she doesn’t like a specific type, she gets different ones every time, sometimes she buys sunflowers, sometimes she buys tulips, daisies or roses. It is very hard for me to tell which one is her favorite type because she really likes them all and I don’t know how she does it but they all look perfectly beautiful. It doesn’t matter at what time of the year we are on, whether it’s winter, spring, summer or fall, I know I will see those beautiful flowers when I arrive home. Even though it is sometimes hard for me to understand why is it so important for her to always have flowers in our house, I love watching her while she is enjoying cutting the stem and arranging them in big vases, I don’t even try to offer my help because I know she is enjoying what she is doing. It is actually very easy for the whole family when we have to choose a present for her birthday, for mother’s day or even for her anniversary, we know that no matter what we decide to give her the present has to be accompanied with a bunch of flowers and that will make her very happy and thankful every time. Not only my mother enjoys watching the flowers that she carefully picked for the house, but also every time we travel, it doesn’t matter where in the world we are, we all have to make a pause for her to observe and enjoy the view of the different kinds of beautiful flowers in front of us. I have to accept that I love that about my mom, I like to see the way she really appreciates nature. My mom’s flowers adorn the house in a special way with their smell and colors, they make it feel like home.
