Ironic, when we go back to the history of the rose. It was used during the fifteenth century as a symbol for the factions fighting to control England. The white rose symbolized York, and the red rose symbolized Lancaster, as a result, the conflict became known as the “War of the Roses.” And now, if love could be defined by one symbol, it would be the rose. No other symbol can evoke the same feelings of romantic love.
I’m not so fond of it but I feel very special everytime I have one in my hand. I have received a number of roses from people for various occasions, and right now I could probably have a room of that box from island rose from all the deliveries could I have not thrown them. But of course those roses coming from one of the most important persons are the one’s you treasure…
Yesterday, as I was surfing the net Jai came up to me and said to go our room and check on our little son. I said, he’s with his angel (we call our helpers angels) sleeping, but he insisted! So I did. As expected, they were sleeping so I just organized some things in the room. Adored the shoes that Jai bought me the day before and after about 10minutes I glanced at my son who’s sleeping and noticed a bouquet of red roses beside him! I knew it! It was our anniversary yesterday and Jai took his vacation leave to be with me all day. It was too sweet.. Jai first gave me a bouquet of red roses on our first monthsary, then another on my birthday then on our first wedding monthsary then on mother’s day even if I was still just pregnant then.
However roses were used in the 15th century, truly, roses makes a woman feel beautiful and good about herself. After all the pounds gained from pregnancy and those scars, flowers and all the loving makes women feel so proud of their relationship. — at least I am.
