We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and it's only end.
-Benjamin Disraeli
A daffodil is not something most people think about when they hear the word love, but I won't ever look at a daffodil the same way again. I clean for a couple who are around my parent's age. The husband lost his leg in a railroad accident when they were young married and he has a hard time getting around. Last Friday, when I cleaned their house, there was a HUGE bouquet of daffodils on the coffee table and I went off about how beautiful they were. Joni then told me that her husband picks her a bouquet every spring because he knows that's her favorite flower. Knowing how hard that must be for him, it just amazes me. That's love.
wow, those are such adorable shots!
ReplyDeletethanks for this inspiring post:)
happy wednesday!
I have a special relationship to daffodils after I was in Ireland for St Patrick's day last year and saw the Garden of hope, that allows people to plant a daffodil and give money to cancer research, and also the money goes to hospitals and cancer units. It was so beautiful that it made me cry. Before that I never liked daffodils (had too many of them in my garden once) but now I love them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. And the daffodils story made me teary eyed. Thank you for sharing, that truly is love...
