I heard a knock on the door and these were waiting for me:
Flowers! Flowers on vine......just for me.
The card said, " To my most wonderful and sweet daughter, I love you, love your Dad." Flowers for me, on my birthday, from my dad. Oh how sweet! With 5 sisters, my dad has to spread his love all around...(it would be exhausting really..) But today, was my day. I was his "one and only"...just for a sweet moment on my birthday......
So yesterday, I heard a knock on the door.....
It was my bro-in-law with these beautiful flowers in his hand. Huh? Was Tyler giving me flowers?......he said, " It was Amber's birthday last Friday and your dad sent her this beautiful bouquet.... We are going out of town and we were hoping you would be able to enjoy these while we were gone." Yes, of course.... I smiled to myself realizing what my dad had done. I then thought of the sweet note he wrote to my sister and the way she felt when she was his "one and only" on her birthday. My eyes watered a little :).... "Of course, I would love them." 
Now when I look at them, I think of my sweet dad and what he is trying to do for each of us daughters (and in-laws) on our special day. He wants us to feel like we are loved completely and fully....like we could be his "one and only."
Thanks dad, I love you. While you are on your 3 year mission, we all miss you and pray for you daily.(and yes you are only as far away as Provo but you are still not "here.") We can't wait until we can receive the flowers from you in person...!
