It was one day before my birthday. I was studying English as usual when it became lunchtime. So, I cooked and ate my lunch. I was eating my meal and watching YouTube on my smartphone when I received a phone call. I was unable to answer it. Soon after, I looked up the number and found out that it was from a florist.
It could be Collie! ...must be Collie.
I called the florist and was put through to a staff who called me. He asked if I would be home today because flowers had arrived for me from America. That is to say, he will deliver the ordered flowers once he has finished arranging them.
It was the biggest floral arrangement I'd ever received. The sender's name was written as “From America”. Collie is the only one who would do this.
I had planned to spend my birthday quietly at home alone. However, the arrival of the flowers gradually made me feel warmer and happier towards tomorrow's birthday. I was touched by his kind thoughtfulness in sending the flowers one day before my real birthday.
12:00 a.m. It's my birthday now! Thanks to him, I didn't feel lonely at midnight that turned into my birthday. Again, it was wonderful of him to make sure that flowers arrived the day before my birthday. I put the champagne in the fridge. Then, went to bed.

The next morning, Collie sent me a birthday wish along with a photo of himself with pink miniature roses in the background. I'm glad he remembers that I love miniature roses.
It can be challenging to find miniature roses in flower arrangement orders in summer because they are sensitive to heat damage during that season. So, he is right. Those various flowers arranged in pink tones are giving me a gentle feeling in the room. I am with him through the flowers...
So, two glasses of champagne for us, Rose & Collie. He joins me in raising his glass to our shared memories. Cheers!
Happy Birthday to you Rose, with Love... My warmest hugs and kisses.
I wish I could be there to enjoy the time with you🌹 by Collie.
