My Rose

I got my rose on Day 6 of the Novena from my sister. We were riding around in the car and I hadn't mentioned the novena to anyone, except Beka who was doing it with me. Mom asked Kendl to write out a check before we got to the bank. Kendl opened up the glove box and pulled out a pen with a huge pink dew dropped artificial rose on the end that was wrapped in green, for the "stem", all the way to the pen point. I saw her pull it out but bit my tongue because I knew it would have to be handed to me to for it to be "my rose". A few seconds later, I'm not sure why, either her phone rang or she had to get something ready for the bank as well. Mom said hand it to Amber and there being handed to me by my sister was my rose from St. Therese. After talking about it because of course I was thrilled, I found out that Kennady had made that pen for my mom years ago. In a way the rose pen was from Kennady too. It was a very very special moment. Mom gave me the rose pen.
