On my mother’s 90th birthday I brought her daffodils. They were a generous bunch with big yellow faces bopping in a glass vase with a yellow ribbon tied around it. I put them on the little table next to her bed were she was sitting all propped up on pillows. As we talked, she would glance over at the flowers and tell me how much she liked them. Daffodils were always one of her favorite spring flowers.
Today my mother would have been 96-years-old. She told me that ninety was as far as she wanted to go. A woman who stuck to her guns, she passed away a few weeks after she turned 90-years-old.
As I was doing some errands downtown today, I happened to stop into one of my favorite boutiques that offers hand-crafted fair-trade items. I came across a glass pendant of blues and greens. The colors came together to form a tree with spreading limbs. I couldn’t resist it.
When I got home and unwrapped the pendant, I again marveled at the beautiful colors and the tree design. I realized that blue and green were my mother’s favorite colors and they are also mine as well. I also love big yellow daffodils and every spring I fill my house with vases full of them.
