Being a florist – Mothers Day is the Mother of all holidays!!! So being the Mom of a florist on Mothers Day is kinda like being the cobbler’s son – no shoes for him – and no flowers and one cranky daughter for my mother!!! Since I don’t really celebrate this holiday with my mom, I honor her every other day of the year instead.  She is the most supportive, protective, trustworthy, reliable, hardworking person we have ever known. Without the support of my mother, Parker’s Petals would cease to exist! She is the driving force that pushed me and my sister to start the business and she still donates all of her free time to us today. She is not a “do as I say” kind of women but a role model for all of those of us that want to make a difference in our lives.  Even though we don’t “celebrate” Mother’s Day, we are going to make an exception this year to tell her how much we love and admire her and thank goodness she’s in our lives with this story.  Thanks MOM!!
