Why Can't I Have a Flower on Mother's Day?
A Question Finally Answered
By Julie Watson
As we left church, my husband waded through the crowd to claim my flower. As he handed the pretty pink carnation to me he whispered "Here you go, mommy."
I asked him if he thought that it was strange for the pastor to have made the remark he did about women who wanted to be mothers, but who couldn't. "No," was his only reply, as he looked deep in my eyes and smiled.
Author's Note: On January 27, 1998 the good Lord did bless us with a very special child – a seven-year-old little girl named Kristen. The long wait to willingly want to parent such a special child was, indeed, his answer to my question:"Why?"
