This touched me gently, Ankica. It reminded me of a moment with my own mum. I once gave her a Mother’s Day gift, and her first reaction was, “Why are you spending money on me?” I felt a little hurt at the time, but looking back, I can see it came from her own way of showing care, shaped by how she grew up. I think she realised afterward, because her face and tone softened too.
Your piece reminded me how love can be there even when it comes out awkwardly, and how time helps us see the tenderness underneath. Thank you for writing this with so much grace. 🌼💛
Thank you for your kind words, Celia. I’m glad this piece sparked memories and offered a moment for reflection. While we’re all shaped by our upbringing, the choices we make at different stages of life, and our willingness to acknowledge and work on our shortcomings can deeply influence the quality of our relationships. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read, reflect, and share your thoughts with such kindness. 💕
Someone who can learn to see a new perspective is a special kind of person! I also am not a fan of flowers. I've never met another woman who felt the same.
That's something beyond beautiful 👏👏💛💛💛 Awesome writing 🌻🌻
