For you, my love

That picture... That flower is very significant to me.

It was the first year of college. I had booked tickets to a college event with my friends. We entered the auditorium and made our way to the seats we had booked. We found that our seats were broken so we talked to a student volunteer who made us sit in the VIP section near the stage.

I was so delighted.

I remember telling God that day that I was so disappointed in guys.... It had been few months since college started and no one proposed to me, nor gave me a flower.

Wow! What a prayer, right?

College is a time where everyone is exploring themselves... Either all alone or through the eyes of another.
It's a time of excitement and self-discovery.

The judges were given flower bouquets...The norm at any function.  Then something very unexpected happened.... 

One of the judges threw his bouquet at the audience. I was startled.

Everything moved in slow motion. The flying flowers... All multicolored...looked so beautiful. It went in all directions. I looked up... The stage light that was so bright, caught my eye. I then saw a white flower.... A flower I hadn't noticed cause of the light. 

And a voice spoke to me, "For you, my love." The flower slowly came down and rested on my lap. I held it in my hand and took this photo. I blushed so much. My friends sitting next to me were surprised I had a flower in my hand and a little confused about the undeniably happy expression on my face.

This photo was a remembrance of that day.

God was there, He was always there. I always ignored it. I always fell away. I always came close to only go further away later. But that day, God heard my silly inner monolog and provided.

After I received the flower, I left the flower there on my seat.... Cause if God gave me love, I will pass it on to another.
