So, my dad has actually never bought me flowers in my entire life. But when I realized that, I also realized that he will buy me the mints I like or my favorite iced tea or other drinks that he knows I love. Let's say my dad is very unique in how he shows his love.
Buy her flowers for every school play, ballet recital, birthday, and special event.
When she was a tiny little thing, he'd get her daisies or carnations. Relatively hardy blossoms that could stand a little manhandling as she set about to destroy them through experimentation. Dance recitals and school plays, he'd go more traditional with roses and baby's breath, but he'd choose non-traditional colors like lavender, orange, or yellow with pink tips.
But her favorite flowers of all were sunflowers. Bright, sunny, and gigantic and first discovered on a vacation to Montana, those were Lucy's special treat. He bought her sunflowers when she got her first ribbon in a science fair. He bought her sunflowers when she got her wisdom teeth removed. He bought her sunflowers when she got her acceptance letter.
Sometimes, Lindsay gave him a hard time about buying more flowers for his daughter than for his wife. When Lucy was around, Danny would joke that he was just following orders. When they were alone, Danny showed his wife love in other ways. And the next day, he'd get some tulips for Lindsay and some for Lucy, just because he could.
AN: Despite being without my laptop (virus!) I had decided to upload as many chapters onto the site itself, which now seems to be an extraordinary case of foresight as it's not something I typically do. That is how you have kept receiving updates whenever I've gotten to my parent's computer. I can go as far as chapter 7, after that, it's dicey. We'll have to wait and see what the nice Geek Squad people say about my baby.
