After 3 years, it warms my heart to see our wedding centerpiece blooming still when we have lunch or dinner at my grandparents' place in Compania St.
My Abuelita was already too weak to make it to my wedding. But I made sure she got a centerpiece. She loved flowers. She really gave this flower so much care and attention when she was still alive. Few months after our wedding she passed away.
So many good memories in a single orchid plant. I think it also represents my own marriage. It has not been a perfect 3 years but I believe we've grown and developed as a couple even more since.
With a daughter and a son on the way, I hope this orchid stands in more happy moments in our life.
Luke 12:27-31
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
