Some flower deliveries stay with you long after you leave. Yesterday was one of those emotional days but those help highlight exactly why we do what we do.
One recipient was on the first day of a new cycle of treatment. She received flowers from us for the first time in our first few years of delivering. We could tell she really wanted to keep the flowers, but she felt bad. We just knew how much they meant to her, so we told her they were hers to keep. The moment she realized we meant it, she broke down in tears. Sometimes, it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most.
The second delivery went to someone who was still just a teenager. Seeing someone so young facing this journey was absolutely heartbreaking. His family was overwhelmed with emotion, and it was a reminder of just how much cancer impacts not only the person fighting it, but their entire family.
Days like today remind us why we do what we do. Every bouquet carries more than flowers. It carries love, hope, compassion, and a reminder that no one has to face this journey alone. We may never fully know what someone is going through, but we can always show up, offer kindness, and let them know there is always HOPE for brighter days ahead. Thank you Alfa Flower Shop for making these awesome bouquets, and thanks to Katie Dennert and Lisa Anne for making these great deliveries.
