A Son’s Sweet Surprise: How One Bouquet Brightened May Day for a Supermom


"A Son’s Sweet Surprise: How One Bouquet Brightened May Day for a Supermom"

Every year, May 1st rolls around like a gentle breeze whispering in the promise of spring. While many people think of May Day as a quaint tradition, one young man saw it as the perfect moment to say something he hadn’t said enough: Thank you, Mom.

Meet Daniel.

A 26-year-old accountant juggling deadlines, adulting, and figuring out his future, Daniel isn’t exactly the poetic type. But this year, he wanted to do something special for the woman who helped shape his life—his mom, Teresa.


🌷 A Mother Who Does It All

Teresa is what you’d call a real-life Wonder Woman. She built a career she loves in healthcare management, runs a busy household, keeps her garden blooming, shows up for Sunday dinners, and somehow still finds time to help her sister, volunteer at her church, and attend her grandchild’s school play—even when work deadlines are pressing.

“She’s always just… there,” Daniel said. “Even when she’s exhausted. Even when no one’s thanking her. She keeps going. And I just realized… I hadn’t told her lately how much I notice all of it.”


💐 A Quiet Act of Appreciation

Daniel didn’t want to wait until Mother’s Day, when every store and social media post would remind him. He wanted to catch her by surprise. So he called Eden Florist.

“I remember my grandma used to tell stories about May Day,” he explained. “About little flower baskets on porches. It felt like the right moment—something sweet, a little unexpected.”

Together with one of our designers, Daniel chose a soft spring bouquet of tulips, daisies, and lily of the valley—the flower of sweetness and return. We added a handwritten card that simply said:

Happy May Day, Mom.
Thank you for everything you do—at work, at home, for our family.
You make it all look easy, and I know it’s not.
Love, Daniel.


🌼 The Power of Simple Gestures

When Teresa opened the door that afternoon and saw the flowers, she didn’t know what to think. “I had no idea what the occasion was,” she laughed later. “But when I saw the card, I cried right there on the porch.”

It wasn’t just the flowers. It was the thought behind them. The fact that someone had noticed. That her son had taken the time to see her not just as “Mom,” but as a woman—multitasking, nurturing, leading, giving—and to thank her.

Daniel told us, “She called me that night and said, ‘You made my whole week.’ All it took was a bouquet and a few words.”


🌸 Your Turn to Start a May Day Tradition

Whether it’s your mom, grandmother, sister, friend, or neighbor—May Day is the perfect time to let someone know they’re seen, appreciated, and loved.

It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. In fact, it’s the little surprises—the quiet drops of kindness—that bloom the brightest in someone’s heart.

Spring Equinox, The First Day of Spring





"Spring Equinox"

Spring

Spring makes the world a happy place
You see a smile on every face.
Flowers come out and birds arrive,
Oh, isn’t it grand to be alive?

Spring is one of the four seasons of temperate zones. Astronomically, it begins with the spring equinox (begins today – March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere, and around September 23 in the Southern Hemisphere), and ends with the summer solstice (around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere). In meteorology, it is by convention instead counted as the whole months of March, April, and May in the Northern Hemisphere and September, October, and November in the Southern Hemisphere. However, in the Irish Calendar it is counted as the whole months of February, March and April.

Spring, Almost

The sunshine gleams so bright and warm,
The sky is blue and clear.
I run outdoors without a coat,
And spring is almost here.

Then before I know it,
Small clouds have blown together,
Till the sun just can’t get through them,
And again, it’s mitten weather.

April

April is a rainbow month,
Of sudden springtime showers.
Bright with golden daffodils
and lots of pretty flowers
