Sunday is Mother’s Day
in North America.
I sent my much beloved Mom
flowers
today.
Why today?
Because she worries,
as many Moms (biological and/or honorary) do,
that she’ll be forgotten
on Mother’s Day
(even though I have NEVER
forgotten Mother’s Day).
Sending her flowers a few days early
eliminates that worry.
She can relax
and fully enjoy Mother’s Day week.
There is NO downside
to sending presents early.
If you celebrate Mother’s Day,
consider giving your gift
today.
I ordered flowers
for my Mom
yesterday.
I scheduled them for delivery
the week before Mother’s Day.
Because I suspect
florists will run out
of flowers this year.
Mother’s Day is
the biggest flower delivery day
of the year.
Not everyone has a sweetheart.
Almost everyone
has a Mom.
Supply chains are
still extremely messed up.
Climate change is impacting
flower growing
and flower delivery.
The pandemic is still happening.
Florists also don’t want
to be left
with excess stock.
They have been going
through lean sales times.
They will likely
be cautious when ordering stock.
If you’re fortunate to have
a loving Mom,
order flowers for her now.
There aren’t
any guarantees
she’ll receive them.
Things happen.
But the odds she’ll have flowers
on Mother’s Day
will greatly increase.
