You may be wondering how these beautiful flowers can be
part of Tuesday Treasures but these particular
blooms are very special to me .
When I was a little one I became very ill
with glandular fever .
On one of my worst days my dear old dad came
home from work with a bunch of daffodils just for me .
Not such a big deal some may think
but as I was one of eight
children I thought it was pretty amazing that one
little person among so many could be made
to feel so special and loved .
My dad at the time was very ill himself
and he died a few years later .
I can never see daffodils without
smiling and thinking of my wonderful dad .
Can't wait to see your treasures this week !
Yes I know it is still Monday but maybe it is
Tuesday somewhere !
The other reason I am doing this early as
I am flat out tomorrow and won't be
near a computer to do this post .
It also gives some new players a chance to
organise their treasure and add their link here .
I hope I have lots of blogs to visit tomorrow night
as I'll need some pleasant distractions after
the day I know I'm going to have tomorrow .
Have a Terrific Tuesday !
what a beautiful bunch of yummy yellow daffys. and what better way to remember your Dad.
ReplyDeleteI love your story - what a sweet way to remember your Dad! For me, it would be conversation hearts - you remember, the little candies with "Love You" or "XXOO" or something like that on them? My dad always used to bring me a box of them on Valentine's Day, and they always make me think of him!
ReplyDeleteLove your story Clare and I hope your day tomorrow isnt as bad as you think it will be. Daffodils always remind me of my daughter ...when she was born my neighbour brought a big arrangement of daffodils into me in the hospital when I had my daughter so they always remind me of when I had my daughter :) When I see them that is the first thing I think of :) hugs Vicki

Hi Clare,
ReplyDeleteOh, love the story behind your "Tuesdays Treasures" and the Daffodils.
Hugs,

Hi Clare, that is such a lovely story about your Dad giving you those beautiful flowers. I don't think that flower giving was so widespread years ago, as I can remember one of the first gifts of flowers that I received. It was a beautiful posy of violets from my DMIL when my first DD was born. I thought it was one of the prettiest gifts I had ever been given! I grow violets now, and always think of my late DMIL when they flower. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you love daffodils gorgeous girl... very special memories.
ReplyDeleteI'm in again this week. :-)
Hope you have a great Tuesday Clare!!
That's a lovely way to remember your dad Clare.

That's a lovely story. Daffodils are special to me to. My daughter always brings me a bunch or pot on Daffodil Day. Also some years ago a lovely lady from CWA passed away. At her funeral those of us who helped were given a pot of daffodils. I always think of her when they bloom.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a gorgeous story, thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are my favourite flower! How beautiful that your Dad did that for you, what a treasured memory! Thankyou so much for sharing it with us!

Hey Clare! What a lovely memory and a lovely way to be reminded of your dear Dad, too. Daffodils have got to be one of the most cheerful flowers, I think, and your Dad obviously was clever enough to know that cheery gifts always make you feel better. Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful memory!!! Such a sweet story.
