A white carnation

What is the significance of a single white carnation? Virg has pondered this question for Valentine's Day. There are many things people say they would get for the person they love. Some would say: "I love you so much, I'll give you the moon", but the moon is for everyone to enjoy. Others would say: "I love you so much, I'll give you an expensive jewel", but jewels can be lost or stolen. But all these things are only symbols for the love we so urgently want to share with the person we love. Love can not be displayed, put in a box, or lost. Every other gift we give pales in comparison to the love it represents. The white carnation is a simple, humble, and precious symbol of the love that we will never be able to completely express to the Love of our Life.

I love you Mommy!
