This is why i grow violets.

9 years ago

A family in our church just had a 20+ week miscarriage. They are devastated... Especially their pre teen daughter. They wanted this child so desperately. I don't understand what they are going thru... But I do want to show them that I care... Thus this gift. They might not understand my little sacrifice of gifting a big plant in full bloom.. But I do, and God does. :)

Both the sentiment and the plant are beautiful.

I'm amused. This is a very old post, and it's saying the comments are very recent! Brightened my day to see lovely Modesty again!

Hi Su! Yes this is an old post and if I am not mistaken,,,,didn't it get "lost"??? lol You and I did have conversation about it way back when you first posted it. Glad to see it finally surfaced and is getting the feedback it deserves! Rosie

Somehow Marrianne dug out the post (probably on a Search) and commented on it ... bringing it into the set of postings with recent comments ...

I have no idea how she found it because when it was originally posted it disappeared. Not to be found anywhere. Su and I looked for it. So did a couple other people.

But I am glad it is here, I know it meant a lot to Su! Rosie
