I have a plant that I cherish. It was given to me in the hospital when Tesslee was born. I took that plant home and determined that as long as I was around, I would do all in my power to keep her little plant alive. In my mind it's connected with her. It was there with us in the hospital room. I love this plant and pick at it, water, nurture it like it's my baby. It has grown big, healthy, shiny-green leaves. They are beautiful. Everyday I take time to look at this plant.
The morning after I spent the day with my sister and her sweet baby, I was walking past Tesslee's plant, and I noticed something unusual. It had a strange, white-leafed bloom that had never been there before. The second I saw it I felt this knowledge flow through me that it was a physical sign from Tesslee that she was so happy with the huge step I had taken yesterday. I knew all at once with certainty that Tesslee bloomed the flower for me, and that she knew that I would notice this sign. It was pure, beautiful knowledge.
In the almost year we've had this plant it has never bloomed. I didn't even know it had the capability of blooming. I just thought the leaves were as beautiful as it got. It's no coincidence that the day after I decided to be proactive in my healing, Tesslee's flower bloomed. It's just another tender mercy that has given me strength. It has now been a couple of weeks since it bloomed. The beautiful white blossom is still there. Every time I glance at it, I smile. It fills me with peace and strength knowing my angels are near me.
