The last spring I had Alex he helped me in the yard he was disapointed that the flowers did not have pretty blooms. He said he had money and wanted to buy me flowers with pretty blooms. I told him no because the flowers we had just planted will have pretty bloom soon. I remembered our conversation as the funeral home was bringing the flowers from his service. I thought to myself, my son did give me flowers with pretty blooms that are still growing today. And now Ruthie is helping take care of those flowers with pretty blooms, when she isn't playing, of course. She is just now learning her way around the yard. Her brother would be so proud. This is such a good time of the year to look around and see the beauty God has given us.
