The Perfect Job: A Life in Flowers

   For over fifty years, I have been blessed to work in what I believe is the perfect job—bringing beauty, comfort, and joy through flowers. In retail and wholesale, I have delivered blooms for every occasion imaginable: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, births, and, yes, even the difficult moments like farewells and condolences.

   From the very beginning, I realized that flowers have a universal language. A simple bouquet can celebrate life’s happiest moments, offer comfort during sorrow, or mark milestones in between. Whether it’s a radiant spray for a wedding, a cheerful bunch for a birthday, or a gentle arrangement to honor a loved one’s passing, each delivery carries emotion and meaning.

   What makes this work so special is the reaction I see when I arrive—smiles, tears, laughter, and heartfelt thanks. No matter the reason for the delivery, people are always glad to see me. I’m not just bringing flowers; I’m delivering memories, love, and connection.

   Over the years, I’ve worked with every corner of the flower world—wholesale, retail, and personally delivering them into people’s hands. I’ve met countless families, celebrated generations of life events, and built relationships that span decades.

   Even after half a century, I still feel the same excitement as I did on my first delivery. The joy of making someone’s day never fades. I have no plans to stop—because as long as people have something to celebrate or remember, there will be flowers to deliver and smiles to share.

   In this job, every day is different, every customer has a story, and every bouquet carries a piece of my heart. That’s why, after all these years, I still believe I have the perfect job.
