Thanksgiving is just around the corner. A festival of great significance for more than a century, it denotes a time when families and friends get together to spend the weekend together generally with a lavish feast or a simple family dinner. But last year, I was forced to spend it away from my home due to an emergency at work.
However, an old friend of my father graciously invited me to his home. They were an elderly couple- the Browns, with a 23 year old daughter, Sara, who worked in New Jersey. I was really excited. My hosts were so amiable and treated me like a member of their family Wishing to contribute more for this special day, I ordered FTD Thanksgiving Flowers from OnlineFlowers.com. This Thanksgiving bouquet was a gorgeous cluster of deep peach, dark rust Leonidas and orange spray roses arranged attractively in a designer glass vase. It also doubled as a Thank you flower bouquet and was my personal way of saying thank you to my generous hosts.
On Thanksgiving Day, the house looked warm and inviting with the painstaking efforts of Mrs. Brown. She had tidied the whole house and every surface was sparkling. When I gave her the Thanksgiving bouquet, her motherly face broke into a loving smile and she pulled me into an affectionate hug. She placed these lovely, FTD Thanksgiving flowers made of the finest autumn roses at the center of the dining table. The table looked spectacular when she was done with it. The whole room lit up as if it were basking in the glory of God’s grace, every surface gleaming and glowing with autumn’s loveliness.
When Sara and Mr. Brown arrived, they were overwhelmed by these FTD Thanksgiving Flowers and the sumptuous spread. We said grace and enjoyed the delicious feast. Though I was miles away from my home, I felt part of a family that day. I was glad that my thanksgiving bouquet had brought about that subtle change in the ambience. It is one memory that will be etched into my mind forever.

Just like the first kiss and first love, one’s first job is also unforgettable. I still remember my first day at work. I was all confused. Just when I was wondering what to do, appeared a person with a smile so infectious that I no longer felt that I was in a new place. Though we started as colleagues, through the course of work, our relationship developed into a friendship so strong that we were almost inseparable. She also became my guide and well-wisher who helped me sail through the most difficult of situations in my life.
So you can imagine my joy when she fell in love and decided to get married. The only hitch was, she had to leave the job and move to a new place. Even though I was happy for her, the thought of her leaving was very difficult for me to accept.
I wanted to show her how much her friendship meant to me and thank her for everything she had done for me. So I arranged a small farewell party for her with just a few of our close friends.
