If you looked at my mom’s calendar, you would often see the words, “Big Day.” It referred to some momentous occasion. The calendar was marked, “Big Day.”It was a day like no other when Caden and Elly celebrated their wedding.
Tears threatened to come when I saw the white frame and the white roses, but I didn’t want my mascara to run and focused on happy thoughts instead.
I still remember the day when Elly visited my mom when she was in rehab. My mother always loved Caden’s gentle spirit. She gave him a knowing smile when Elly came along with him.
My mother would have loved the wedding. The flowers, the string quartet, her dress– it was truly beautiful. She would have been happy that my brother and his family, cousins, and her brother made the special trip to attend.
One of the final deliveries was on Sunday afternoon. We took the beautiful flowers and brought them to the nursing home down the road. It was a perfect way to remember my mother one more time.
