Day 25

The Rose:

     With Valentine's Day quickly approaching roses are a hot item. Nothing says "I love you" like a rose...supposedly. Now comes the big decision: red, pink, white, yellow, or some hybrid color. Each color has something that it represents, but honestly I don't care what color they are as long as I get one!

    In my nearly 33 years on this spinning mound of dirt and water we call Earth I have never recieved flowers from any other man except my Daddy. Every year he goes out and gets anywere from 1 to 3 roses each for my Mama and I. He brings them to us a few days before Valentine's so that we can enjoy them longer. :)

    I don't know if he realizes just how much they mean to me. To know that there is at least one man in my life that loves me unconditionally and cares enough to get me flowers is one of the best feelings in the world. In all my years and the few relationships I have had I have not been dating anyone on Valentine's Day. Each year I think...could this be the year? If I am not dating anyone the girl in me fantasizes about having flowers delivered from that guy that I really like and care for that probably doesn't even know I am alive. Hey, you have to believe in something!

    One of these days I will have someone who sends me flowers for no reason at all. FYI...if it ever comes up, I don't have a flower preference and I love one bud as much as a bouquet :) It isn't about the quantity. It's about taking the time to let someone know that you care about them. Plus, flowers are beautiful and I hate the thought of ending their lives for a huge bouquet if one gets the job done.

     Roses can perk up you, make you smile, bring a tear, and make great memories. I know I have many of those thanks to my Daddy. He is such a great guy and may possibly be why I am still single (LOL)...whomever I end up with is going to have a lot to live up to. I have had the best example of a real man my entire life in my dad. He is strong, hard working, loving, peaceful, kind, funny, loyal, and giving. I hope you have someone in your life who makes you feel just as loved. :)

God Bless,
Tammy
