Sometimes getting flowers just brighten up a day. And sometimes, knowing how hard the florist worked to give someone going through an unbelievably hard time, makes the flowers even more beautiful, and the shop you got those flowers from a special place for you, and your family. Renton Flower Shop went way above and beyond to get my sister-in-law her favorite flower – peony – and made one of the most beautiful arrangements I have seen! My sister and her wife’s home was destroyed in a fire last month. It was traumatic, and they were both devastated. Fortunately, they were safe, and they found a temporary home, just a block from the home that was destroyed in the fire. They settled into their new home while the process began to rebuild. And then my beloved sister-in-law had a heart attack. She was rushed the hospital, where she was stabilized and then had surgery, and then taken into Seattle where specialists performed a second procedure. It has been a long and scary process, but she came through and was able to come home. When I asked my sister what kind of flowers her wife likes, she said peonies are her favorite. I knew it was kind of late in the season, but thought it was worth a shot to ask when I called. I spoke with Roxanne, and she confirmed it was late in the season, but she would see what she could do. I told her I understood and hoped she could find some. She said she would let me know first thing, the next day if she was able to source them. I live in Hawai’i, so when I woke up the next morning, there was a message saying she could get them and that they were beautiful. I place the order and let my sister know to expect the delivery later that afternoon. My sister-in-law had just come home from the hospital that day, and after many sleepless nights, my sister and her wife were both getting some much-needed sleep when the flowers arrived. My sister opened the door and was truly stunned by the size, amazing fragrance, and beauty of the arrangement. She brought them to her wife, and they have been enjoying the fragrance and beauty for days! The flowers were so fresh they will probably last weeks!! Mahalo, Renton Flower Shop!
