Spring is here, flowers are blooming and bright green leaves are appearing on the trees. This is certainly a beautiful time of year, a season of rebirth and renewal. I have decided to begin a new tradition each year the week before Easter Sunday. Because of Sarah's love for flowers, I will plant something in her honor. Yesterday I planted three Mexican Heather shrubs, a delicate plant with dainty pink and purple blossoms.
This picture is of Sarah with her Aunt Carrie, picking purple blossoms off the Mexican Heather shrub across the street from our home. She carefully considers which one she will pick.
With great effort and a little help from her sweet Aunt, she bends over and lovingly picks a flower for her mama. I will never forget Sarah's love for flowers and her desire to share them with me.

What a great plant with which to start the tradition. I often think of your little angel when I see pink - whether it is flowers or frosting or bows or balloons.
So sweet, your yard is going to be even more beautiful, having reminders of Sarah throughout. I love this tradition!
Sounds like a perfect way to honor and remember Sarah.
What a delightful way to remember Sarah's love of flowers and picking one to give to her loving mama. We never took a stroller ride without her wanting to get out to choose a flower to take home to mama.
