Lina sat quietly by the window, watching the rain fall gently outside. The house was silent except for the occasional rustling of the leaves in the garden. She had never asked for much, but there was one thing she had always dreamed of-a bouquet of fresh flowers for Mother's Day. Growing up, she had seen other mothers receive flowers, their faces lighting up with joy. She, however, had always kept her wishes to herself, believing that her children's happiness mattered more than her own.
This year, her eldest son, Marco, had surprised her with a thoughtful gift. He had ordered a bouquet of vibrant lilies and roses from Flora2000, an online flower portal, knowing how much she loved fresh blooms. It wasn't a personalized or extravagant gift, but it was enough to make her heart swell with gratitude. She felt a tear slip down her cheek as she gazed at the flowers.
For Lina, the unspoken love of sacrifice had always been her way of loving. But that simple bouquet reminded her that her sacrifices had not gone unnoticed. Her children saw her-truly saw her-on this special day.
