That’s the point. It has transformed into something about flowers and lunch for your mother one day of the year, when it began as something much more juicy and profound. Read the proclamation! plough.com/en/topics/culture…

The tragedy of loss triggered those beautiful sentiments. May we learn from our past to better our future.
