We all have things that make us happy.
And I have more than a few.
But this time of the year, my happy is—-lilacs.
Their smell.
Their look.
Their imperfections.
When the flowers are closed.
When their flowers are open.
I love them.
Many times I have dreamt of having a wedding surrounded by lilacs.
I remember cutting them and bringing them to school for my grade school teachers.
They make me happy.
