Roses and Lilies Remind Others Too

I want to share a couple random stories my friends shared with me recently, mostly to remember them myself. :-)

A lady that I met through blogging named Elena recently wrote me a sweet message on Facebook saying:

"I just wanted to tell you about two weeks ago, I went to buy new shampoo and it turned out to be the wrong scent. My original one, I had never noticed, was the lily scent, but I looked when I noticed the smell of my new shampoo was different and saw that I had two scents - lily and rose, and it made me think of you and your daughter. :-)"

Then my friend Bonnie, who helped start one of my local infant loss support groups, texted me this week saying:

"Just wanted to share this sweet moment with you....my daughter has two friends over today and they are playing. One said she wanted her name to be Lily and one said she wanted to be Rosie. The flower names made me think of you and Lily. <3"

Roses and lilies, especially together, remind me of my sweet girl and the indescribable bond we share as mother and daughter. It brings me such joy knowing the two flowers together remind others of she and I too, of her beautiful life and legacy, and my everlasting love for her.
