Bring me flowers when I'm here. Please, don't wait until I'm gone so I might reflect to a different year and my memories will last on.
How do you celebrate the life of someone you've lost? For Patricia Osterhoudt, the answer lies in small acts of kindness. In this touching episode of 'Life Beyond Our Wildest Dreams', Patricia shares the story behind 'Flowers for Matthew Today', an event held on her late son Matthew's birthday, January 15. Matthew passed away due to substance use disorder, but his memory lives on through this beautiful initiative.
Patricia encourages everyone to give white flowers to those who have shown them kindness, symbolizing purity and the often-unnoticed impact of simple gestures. The episode also features Patricia reading the poignant poem 'Bring Me Flowers When I'm Here', which underscores the importance of showing love and appreciation while we still can. Join host Denise M and Patricia in celebrating Matthew's life and spreading kindness in his honor.
