What your mom wants this Mother's Day - AL.com
Monday, May 08, 2017That is what she wants. Because she knows life is fleeting and temporary, yet so full of mystery, wonder, and meaning.My first two daughters were delivered at Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa. My son and third daughter were born at Baptist South in Montgomery. With each I remember thinking this physical life could offer no greater gift or happiness. Women share the stories between themselves for a lifetime, these memories of meeting new little lives entering the world. Motherhood is a heartstring that connects us.It's like a baptism in a sense. When a woman emerges from a hospital with a newborn in her arms she is not the same person she was before. She is equipped with a new strength no one can see, and she will hurt you over that baby.This protective motherly love does not end when they make it out of the crib either. If you doubt this, go to any little league game in the state and watch the mamas. We defend our children, be they right or wrong, as long as we have breath within us.I guess that's just how God made mothers. It is the weakness that balances the strength. If they hurt, we hurt. If they experience loss, we experience loss. Our joy is contingent upon theirs.I first realized I wanted to be a mother when the absence of a child felt like a ghost around me. It was as if a space had appeared in my life that needed to be filled.Being a mother can be spiritually healing. It restored my faith in many ways. Prior, I might have confessed that I believed, but my heart had questions. The love I felt for my children changed that uncertainty in me.Other mothers might describe their experiences differently, but most would likely agree that God would not allow such a powerful bond to exist in this life that doesn't expand and continue on into the next.And that is the gift.You were the gift.To your mother...you still are.Amanda Walker is a blogger and contributor with AL.com, The Thomasville Times, West Alabama Watchman, and Wilcox Progressive Era.

Chicago Florist Delivers Free Pandemic Pick-Me-Ups - WTTW News
Wednesday, October 28, 2020It’s the circle of life. Flowers deal with every part of the circle of life, from birth to death and everything in between.”Breslof is a full-service special events florist, who has owned and operated Flowerlife in Bucktown since 1996. “Every flower has its own design, and every individual flower can be showcased in a way where together it looks like a piece of art – I like to think of flower arrangements as mini art installations; sculptures made out of flower,” Breslof said, though she describes her arrangements as having an organic, unstructured feel.There haven’t been many special events since mid-March – even before the statewide stay-at-home order took effect – when, in an early attempt to prevent spread of the coronavirus, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker put the kibosh on gatherings of 50 or more people.“I had a bunch of St. Patrick’s Day events coming up. Within that week they were all canceled. And within a matter of days the event industry laid flat. Everything was canceled. The entire (special events) industry was at a standstill,” she said. “I would say 95% of my business was done with or forfeited within a matter of days … I didn’t even think something like that was possible. It was like a dream, one long day, because the days blend into each other, you know?”Since then, Breslof pivoted, from special events to special deliveries.She created a gender-reveal arrangement (in pink) to expecting parents.She delivered flowers to a bride who postponed her wedding, sent from the woman’s bridal party.“She said ‘This is the best thing that was ever given to me – other than my ring of course.’ And I was a part of that … when I hear feedback like that, I cry,” Breslof said.And it felt good when – for the first time in weeks – she crafted a bouquet for a bride who went through with an early May wedding on its long-scheduled date.Ananda Zoe Breslof and her 21-month-old daughter.

From The Tribune staff reportsBIRMINGHAM — A random act of kindness is something we all like to see and on Wednesday, Oct. 21, Norton’s Florist set a great example.The florist gave away flowers outside UAB Hospital. The “Petal it Forward” initiative is meant to put smiles on faces in Birmingham.Owner Gus Pappas asked people walking by to take two bouquets, one for themselves and one for someone else. Pappas and his son, Cameron, do this every year in downtown Birmingham, but they felt like UAB Hospital was the best place to give back this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic.The pair asked everyone nearby to social distance and wear masks.You can follow the initiative on Instagram @nortonsflorist and use #MAKEBHAMSMILE to share your experience. https://www.trussvilletribune.com/2020/10/21/nortons-florist-giving-away-flowers-at-uab-to-put-smiles-on-faces/
Pescadero flower farms threatened by church closures - Catholic San Francisco
Wednesday, October 28, 2020San Francisco flower market isn’t buying from them like it used to, he said.Guzmán affirmed that the closing of the churches is one of the reasons why the flowers are not being sold.Lucy Michel, the florist who designs the flower arrangements for St. Mary´s Cathedral in San Francisco and St. Charles Borromeo parish, agreed that Catholic churches and events require a lot of flowers.During the quarantine, Michel’s business wcompletely stopped. She had contracts to do the floral decorations for six weddings during the spring and summer of 2020 but were canceled. The clients moved the weddings for the next year.Michel’s business has started operating again in the last two months, but at a slow pace.Currently, it is selling flowers mainly for funerals, although not as much as before the pandemic, due to the limitations in funeral services.Many of the flowers Michel uses for decorations come from the farms in Half Moon Bay and from Pescadero to the flower market in San Francisco, where most of the workers are Hispanic as Susano Ledezma.Since Ledezma came from Guadalajara, México, 25 years ago he has worked in the San Francisco Flower Market.The last 16 years he worked in one of the largest florists there. When the shelter-in-place started, Ledezma and his co-workers lost their jobs.The San Francisco Flower Market has opened and some of Ledezma’s co-workers have been rehired, but he hasn’t yet.Since the middle of March when he lost his job, he and his wife Catalina Rocha have not had health insurance and both are suffering stress and depression.Ledezma is concerned because unemployment benefits were reduced to 50 percent in September and he does not know how he will pay the rent of $1,800 for his apartment in South San Francisco.“I can still work,” he said.When Ledezma worked in the San Francisco Flower Market, he had clients from many churches. “They were good customers. They bought many flowers in May for first communions and in June for weddings and quinceañeras. There was a lot of business“, he said.Rita Mancera, deputy executive director of the nonprofit organization Puente that helps the communities of Pescadero, La Honda, Loma Mar and San Gregorio, said that the farms most affected are those that produce flowers only.The other farms that grow vegetables and flowers kept producing during the shelter-in-place. She thinks the biggest hit on all agricultural activity in the cost was the fires of August.Puente has allocated resources to temporarily cover the wages of farm workers who have not been able to work due to the fires and who do not have unemployment insurance, Mancera said. ... https://catholic-sf.org/news/pescadero-flower-farms-threatened-by-church-closures
