Relatives of the young ballerinas brought flowers to the performance. Everyone brought red roses for their little star. Everyone but me. My little ballerina did not like roses, her favorite flowers were daisies. Bright, cheerful, white and yellow daisies. While some parents looked at us askance, I knew when I saw my daughter’s face light up with joy and excitement that my precious ballerina was unique. I bought her a big bouquet of daisies and her face was lit up by happiness, her blond hair, gleamed in the sun, and her arms clutched her special flowers. My daughter, now seventeen, still knows exactly what she wants, she has always known. She planned her birthday parties four years in advance and while her blonde hair is now darker, she is as unique as ever, a vegetarian, a unique soul. Though she no longer loves daisies, she doesn’t know what her favorite flower is anymore and there’s plenty of time to figure that out, it’s perfectly alright.

I love daisies … I have gone through stages of wanting to be given other flowers … but my heart always smiles with daisies … now I am trying to find them to plant in my yard … they are difficult to locate in my area. I love your MYM entry.
(BTW – your URL came through, and connected me immediately to your blog. I know I am having similar problems with Blogspot. For some of the sites I can no longer use wordpress — but name and url work … other sites, I have to use my Google account … I read somewhere there was a software change within the past couple of weeks … I hope they sort it out soon! Anyway, have a great week)

but I can’t seem to leave comments on the sites. I don’t know why, it just says URL is not valid or has too many characters. SO frustrating!!!
