Several years ago, my mother-in-law moved into a retired facility, leaving her home of 42 years. One of the benefits to my wife and me was the privilege of digging up her Spider Lillies, Daffodils, and monkey grass that grew in her healthy environment. The plants brought joy and appreciation to the family and neighbors for their faithfulness in returning each year, as they shined with their beauty each season. We have a photo that’s a part of our western wall art. Now the plants bring those same benefits to our family, transplanted to our home and garden. It’s that faithfulness when the plants return each season that continues to remind us of the sweetness and loving spirit that my mother-in-law brings to us daily. I am one of the blessed sons-in-law to have known her personally. I know her very well because she lives on, not only in the beauty of the plants, but also in her daughter that she raised . . . my beloved wife. It’s not every man can boast that he is loved by two women and can love them in return.
So, bring cut flowers into your homes, husbands! Place photos, paintings or calenders with flowers and live plants, as a part of your tribute to love and faithfulness of your wives, moms, and mothers-in-law.
PS. The tulip pictured above is a beverage coaster called, “Close to You.”
