Yesterday was my last day in Corcoran. I want to say Thank you to everyone who gave me your business, friendships, and referrals. I was asked by several people how I was doing with the closing...the first day was the hardest (when I made the decision). But I dont see it as a failure, and maybe that is why I feel that change is good.Many things transpired the past two years that made it even more difficult for myself and my husband. Those of you who have had me as a friend for a while, know our history. For those of you that are new friends, my husband had a life changing surgery last year to remove a spinal tumor that had grown inside of his spine attaching to his nerves. He had permanent nerve damage and has been unable to return to work. It has been a battle for him to recover from not being able to walk, hold anything, bathe, etc. He did have some major recoveries, the largest being able to walk, but the most affected were his arms and hands. Our worlds turned upside down, and honestly I dont know how I even kept BM open as long as I did. While John was at rehab in San Jose for 45 days, I drove back and forth. For a few months I stayed at home to take care of him. Even though his whole life changed, and he was the one going through all of the pain and suffering, he always managed to stay positive and tell me not to give up on BM. He didnt want me to close the shop because he knows how much I loved it. But I gave it all I could, for him, but now its time to be here at home with him. Recently he had another surgery to repair his left arm. Hoping that it will heal well and offer him more movement. My business may not have succeeded in C-town, but it doesnt mean it wont flourish elsewhere. At least that is my hope and dream. God closed this door for a reason, and I truly believe that. The fact that John is walking is a miracle! I want to focus on all the good things. Life has kicked us down many times, but God has always lifted us. Allowed things to be taken from us too, and thats o.k. Thankful for all the other great and beautiful things he has given us...trees, birds, the ocean, the mountains, flowers :) love, courage, family, friendships ..... I am still remaining positive and moving forward, full speed ahead! ...and about flowers - I am continuing flowers & balloons out of my home. I am currently setting up my workspace in my garage. Its almost ready! Dont forget about me!!! I will miss talking with everyone, miss working with my mom and brothers, and miss making flower arrangements for you. I hope that many of you still order from me! However, I do want you to know that a group of lovely ladies will be moving in to our old spot. Js Gifts. They will also have fresh flowers, candy bouquets, sports team gifts, balloons, etc. I will have a new phone number, but dont have it yet. In the meantime you can message me through facebook or text me on my cell (559) 631-9642. I will continue with everyday flowers, sympathy flowers, wedding flowers, balloon bouquets and balloon decorations. Keep in touch - God Bless!!
