We first spoke with Linda, an UrbanStems customer from Sacramento, California. This Valentine’s Day, Linda is celebrating her mom, Stacy. For Linda, Stacy is “the number one woman in my life that has shown me how to live my life gracefully, happily, and with no regrets.”
A stage 3 breast cancer survivor, Stacy is the woman Linda strives to be like, “someone who never gives up, the definition of perseverance, continues to love life no matter what gets thrown her way.”
Flowers have always held a special place in their story. “Growing up my mom and I would always plant flowers together in the garden and have them in our home. As I got older, we would go to the farmer’s market together to buy bouquets. It became one of our favorite things to do together to bond. When she had breast cancer, I continued to get flowers for her while she was in recovery. For us it symbolizes love, growth, and beauty that is for everyone to enjoy throughout the different stages of its life. Seeing her smile and spirits uplifted every time she saw the flowers gave us both immense joy.”
