An online farm-direct flower distributor whose purpose is to promote affordable prices, good quality and long vase life in our floral products. The treatment and solution thirty eight years ago, was to conduct a total hysterectomy, a decision which fell heavily upon the shoulders of a loving Mother and Father. Faced with the cruel knowledge that I would neither conceive nor have children of my own
, my world crumbled in front of me. Being engaged to be married, I emotionally struggled to heal an unbearable pain lurking in my heart while at the same time trying to piece my life together knowing I needed to move on. Searching for a healing solution, find inner peace and a purpose in life, I fell wholeheartedly into the hands of God. Full of hope, the love of my family and a new found strength I urged myself to move on. I mistakenly stumbled into the fresh cut flower industry an industry that found a place in my heart, gave color to my world and a new focus in life. I picked up the pieces of my life and displayed to those that knew me, that I was focused, centered and successful. Yet deep in the most inner part of my heart I longed for children of my own. The longing and determination would only intensify in the years to come. With the loving help of the Colombian family I worked with, I was given the hope of adopting. “Casa de la Madre y el Nino” the place where HOPE transformed into reality and where my son Alexander was born; a healthy baby boy, whose bright, eyes and big smile filled my heart with an utter feeling of love and happiness. With Alexander cradled in my arms, riding in a taxi, on my way to the hotel I stopped at a bakery and purchased a loaf of bread. On that same corner while waiting for a red light, a child no more than ten years old came to my window to sell me gum. I looked at the child’s face and then looked at my son and back to the child. Only to see that his eyes were fixed on the loaf of bread placed next to me. His hunger unsurpassed his need to sell the packages of gum. A tear fell down my cheeks, I extended the loaf of bread to the hungry child in front of me and I felt God’s presence fill me. That very day marked my life. The years that followed were special. Alexander filled my days with the mischievous doings of a toddler growing up and the joy and laughter filled our home. Our family was blessed with him in our lives; first son, first boy and first grandson.
