2 dozen roses and a tube of baby rash cream!

  

This was a gift I got from Anthony that just melted me. Although it seems that he just does not understand the pain I go through and the frustration, there obviously is some part of him that does understand

My colitis has been so bad for almost 4 weeks I have been in the toilet every 15-45 minutes around the clock. It even wakes me from a sleep. It has gotten so bad that there was no longer any skin around my bottom. I could barely shower without crying out in pain. That butt cream was just what the doctor ordered

Someone once said that flowers were a waste of money as they are just going to die. Then when I was about 20ish, I was on my way to my godsisters home and she said she had to stop at a store. She picked up the items she needed and then she picked up a bunch of flowers. Nothing expensive, maybe thy were 99 cents for the bunch.

Once we got to her house she put them in water and we went about our business. That night I asked her about the flowers. She said that she is a single mom, she works very hard and she does something special for herself at least once a week. She buys herself flowers. Then when "her time" arrives, that 10p each night, she can sit, read her book and smell her flowers.

Since then I truly appreciate a fresh cut flower. Even my children, from such a young age, would go out in the yard with me and help me cut whats in bloom and we bring it into the house. We have no flowers here so for over 2 years I havent really had many flowers. Other then the occasional weed my kids bring me from the yard hahaha

Two dozen roses and a tube of baby rash cream made me cry. It was the best gift I had gotten in a long while and it was perfect FOR ME
