so some of you may remember, the last 8-10 years I would send a big bunch of flowers to my mom anonymously, as a secret admirer, secret valentine, and it was the best day in the year for her it seemed (my dad boycotts any/all romantic things, so my mom is pretty starved romantically and the idea of a secret admirer makes her very happy). She would call me and be So happy. It was beautiful. (She doesn't get too many happy days otherwise).
This year I intentionaly didnt send anything BECAUSE the last two years she didnt seem too excited about it anymore (wheres in the beginning she was super happy to be remembered) and I wanted to jump start the spark, by skipping one year. I thought she wasnt going to be too bummed out.
But I just spoke to her now and she is SO SAD, I mean its breaking my heart now, because she thinks its because she did something wrong. Aaaaargh. So here I am, thinking "well that was a stupid idea" and wondering how to salvage it (I cant send anything now, its night time in Europe and she would think its weird since we just spoke anyway) but waiting for one more year seems too cruel.
So I thought I would send her flowers in May, or in the summer on her name day, to make it seems like the admirer just randomly decided to switch it up.
Or should I send it like next week, and add to the note that he had covid or something explaining why he didnt send it today?
Or should I wait for next year?
Or simply stop sending it altogether?
What are your thoughts? Please vote in the poll and give me your recommendations. Right now I am leaning toward May surprise.
