Sharing Lilies And Life's Moments


--by LiliAB, posted May 22, 2018
We became both recipient and also giver earlier today. A beautiful bouquet of calla lilies was shared with my hubby and I as we were on a walkabout in San Francisco. The giver was a gardener who was consciously gifting his beautiful blooms today in honor of what would have been his late wife's 75th birthday.

"Para ti mis nuevos amigos. Please share these humble flowers, my wife's favorites in honor of her, in celebration of you, both named Lily. Love to share"

As I took the flowers he kissed my cheek, pulling my husband in for a hearty embrace, bending oh so gently over to pet our small fluffy dog.

" From me to you, mi familia es muy especial"

After another sweet embrace we strolled past his neighborhood and went into Golden Gate Park. Sitting alone on a park bench was a blanket draped, weathered, and fragile appearing woman-child with her belongings in a knapsack with bedroll attached. Offering our calla lilies was an automatic gesture. She was at first startled and then she beamed a truly lovely grin.

Mi Familia is especial and expanding as my heart grows.
