    Wonderful!
    Funny, randomly I bring flower to my wife and when somebody sees me ask for the occasion. I know there is nothing to please her more and that’s the occasion. Why should anybody bring flowers on birthday or name’s day or other ‘official’ day only?

  • LjMaxx replied

    I am sure she loves it to no end too. Sweet guy.. As it should be.. Thanks for taking the time to comment… :)
