My grandmother is the nicest woman I know which is why, as my thank you to her, I send her valentines day flowers every year. Since I was twelve years old when I could afford my very first flower telegram I have been sending my grandmother a bouquet of white roses every valentines day as my way of showing her that her grandchildren think of her often and miss her. She lives in a retirement home in Boca Raton and doesn’t like to visit us much but we do get the occasional letters, always thanking me for the flowers she receives. One time she even said that its one of the few things that she looks forward to on a yearly basis. This year I’m going to make it even more special by adding a picture frame of the children along with the valentines day flowers. It is more than a habit or a tradition. It has become a part of life.
