Evidently, I have a secret admirer.

This has been the nuttiest, craziest week in a long time. Long story, but there were a few moments I wondered if I would even make it until Friday...of course, I did, I'm still here. Long story but hey... The doorbell rang about 4PM. A young woman at the door with a vase of flowers--for me! She is an Uber driver. The little tiny card on the flowers was hand written, and just said,'' Lovely flowers for a special lovely lady'' and I know my jaw was on the floor. This is the third time...every few months I get flowers. I have absolutely no idea who is sending them. When my kids send me flowers, they use the local florist and the florist delivers them. I guess I have a secret admirer...who is definitely a secret, I have no idea. No matter, I love getting flowers, it makes me feel special. Maybe someday I will discover just who sends me such pretty flowers.

What a special surprise. It would make me nutty not knowing who they were coming from!!!!! Have a good weekend.

I don't know who, and honestly, it doesn't matter. Whoever it is, surely must know me somehow. Around here, there are a lot of days I need a smile or a flower (I am sure you can relate to this!) so it's much appreciated, thank you, Linda.

That’s a lovely gesture. I’m sure you have many secret admirers, I am one of them. OK, I’m not secret anymore.

@MarieCoyle It must be frustrating not knowing who it is. Once, you could maybe put it out your mind, but three times? You’ve obviously impressed someone, and are continuing to do so. And, you’re welcome

@Orson_Kart My son is around here a lot, as most people here know...I asked him if he had any clue at all and he doesn't either. I do know it's not my grown children. Like I said, they would use a florist and spend too much. And this son has been too sick to think about flowers.

It was me! The secret is out of the bag! haha Seriously, that is awesome that you have a secret admirer who sends you flowers. It's very nice and thoughtful that they do that. But I wonder why they choose to remain secret? Maybe you have an angel looking after you.

@MarieCoyle I think you probably do have an angel looking over you!! If you think you know who it is, are you going to say something, or just let the secret keep going?

@moffittjc I should have been more specific, sorry. I know I have at least one angel. But she doesn't live here on earth. She tried to watch over me, guide me, help me whenever she could, but mostly, she just loved me and my children beyond measure. She tried very hard to take the place of my own birth mother, who mostly conveniently forgot she had ever had any children, and was just not present most of the time. She was very frail for nearly 10 years, many of those years spent in a nursing facility. She had an extremely weak heart, and couldn't walk anymore, or stand. But she had the strongest love for us! It's been over 10 years...I can still remember one of our last conversations. I went to see her all the time, drove 3 hours each way several times a week for several years. So, we shared a lot of life together at the end. I remember her saying ''Honey, I am only still here on earth because of how much love we share. But I'm old...and you are going to have to let me go...'' my heart broke. She said the love we shared was the only reason she wanted to get up every day and smile. I was named after her. She held me when I was born, and she knew me longer than anyone on earth has ever known me. I was so lucky to have her in my life. So, she's the angel, for always. I know she looks out for me.

Jeff, you are silly but I love you anyway! I wondered why whoever is sending them wants it to be secret. I don't believe I know of any married men looking for an old side chick, so that's basically out. I know it's a sweet thing to do, for sure, and made me smile. I am enjoying the sweet flowers today. I have often thought I have an angel. I even know who it is, at least I think I do.

If whoever is sending them to me would just deliver them in person, I could catch them on the door cameras. But the sender has always had them delivered.
