Flowers from Iraq

I knew something was coming through the mail from Paul but I didn't know what. I talked to Paul last week and he told me that something was coming my way around the 6th of July. Dad had left the house around 11:25am and saw the box arrive but (of course) I didn't hear the man knocking. A couple of hours later dad gets home and brings the box in. I open the box and a dozen gerber daisies (my favorite flowers) were sitting in a vase all wrapped up. Each individual flower was wrapped. As I unfolded all the flowers and cut them and put them in water I can't help but admit that I had tears in my eyes and a big smile on my face. Attached to the box was a card that he had written something in. He hoped that recieving the flowers would brighten my day. They most certainly did!
