Flowers – Yellow daisies

My grandmother is sick, she is dying. And being the most popular, most favorite and most loved grandchild, I am doomed if I lost her.

It’s not that I can do anything to save her, she got this disease that even these doctors, feeling so intelligent and all-knowing do not know. She has been in the hospital for a month now. And there is no sign of her getting better. Her lips are pale and her eyes are gloomy – it’s even gloomier that the night when we found her lying on the floor unconscious.

I am really sad and I fear that each coming day, could be, and may be her last. And when that day comes, that will be the day that I will hate all these people who wear white and carry stethoscopes. I don’t want to think that they are good for nothing but if they won’t be able to cure my grandmother, maybe they are.

I don’t want to live with memories and only memories of her and me going to the park. Those days when she will get me pistachio ice cream on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I always recall the exciting days when she will allow me to pick the balloon of my choice. I always choose yellow, we both like yellow. They say that red is the color of happiness, but between me and my grandmother, yellow makes us happy. It’s really far from that jealousy and envy which some old people say color yellow is related to.

It’s seems that I cannot do anything to ease my grandmother’s situation. And with her telling that the only thing can make her smile is his husband, my grandfather who died last year; there is no way that I can be of any importance.

And then my uncle started sharing stories about my grandparents, he mentioned about how my grandmother love the yellow daisies that my old man used to give my grandmother. Then it came to me. I went to www.e-florist-inc.com and ordered their yellow daisies. There are ranges of flowers available, you can choose from roses, daisies, flower blossom and orchids. I gave it to my grandmother and then we all saw a thing more beautiful than the flowers itself – her first smile since she entered the hospital.
