Life is full of little signs. We miss most of them because we are moving at such a fast pace to notice. If you slow down to look, you will see them.
Daisies are my favorite flower. To me, this flower represents simple beauty, pure innocence and calming happiness. My mother knew this was my favorite, so she ordered them for the memorial service. It made me smile when I saw a vase of them sitting next to Hope’s urn.
The day of Hope’s memorial service was unseasonably warm, sunny and beautiful. That morning my sister-in-law, Angie, took a walk around to the side of her house where her bushes of daisies were located. She didn’t know why she went over to the side of the house, she just did. Her plants had been dead and dried up for some time; but among all the dried, lifeless plants stood one perfect daisy bloom. It was as if Hope appeared as a beautiful bloom to say, “Hi mommy and daddy. I wanted to be near you on the farm as you say good-bye to me today. I love you.”
I recently looked
up the meaning of the daisy. This flower stands for: Innocence, Loyal
Love, Purity and Gentleness.
