Day Lilies and Memories

Everyone has certain flowers they consider extra special. They tug at the heart. Sometimes they are very fragrant or colorful.

Pink roses do all of the above for me. So do stargazer lilies, gardenias, and night jasmine.

Unfortunately, I've never cared for orange lilies. When we were kids we called them  tiger lilies.  Now I am far from being a flower expert so it's not 100 percent positive that the flowers shown in today's post are tiger lilies or not.

These orange flowers did, however, spark memories of my paternal Grandmother. She always had orange lilies growing in her extensive flower garden.

It's been so many years since I've seen her sparkling blue eyes and felt her ample bosom squeezing me close to her heart.   If I close my eyes, I can still see her gray hair pulled back in a bun.  She never cut her hair and I'm told it went way past her waist when she brushed it out.

It's my belief that we will one day once again see all our loved ones who have gone before us to another realm of life.  That's comforting to me. I can't wait to see both of my Grandmas again, and my Mom and Daddy, too.

You know what?  I'm getting used to orange lilies and don't dislike them quite so much anymore.
