Unfortunately our week has been filled with the loss of several good friends, parents of good friends, and even siblings of good friends. At times like this it is hard to be a florist. Guiding those families through the maze of grief is such a hard thing to do. Feeling the loss of others is just a part of being a GOOD florist. Sometimes it is impossible to make the floral arrangements without tears springing to your eyes.Then you realize that a family out there is counting on you and you have a job to finish. They depend on you to make the best of a very bad situation, just a little easier to bear. And flowers are an expression of the love they have for their person. Flowers put a bright spot in an otherwise somber occasion. They remind all of the people gathered to say their final farewells that there will be better days ahead. So to all those designers out there, I say BRAVO and Thank You for bringing sunshine into a cloudy day.
