I continued every year after that, sending different flowers each time.

After she passed away, I found all the cards that had accompanied each bouquet, tucked in an envelope with my name on it.. On the back of each card she had written:
'...and I love you so...'

Now my birthdays are days to joyfully think of Momma, 'send' her lots of love.... and just be happy! A very cool thing.
What a special daughter you were to your mom...You were her gift!
