Chrysanthemum: c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-E...m-u-m
Whoa, freaky moment!
First off, if you read the title of this post and had no idea what it was referring to, shame on you! The only reason I can spell "chrysanthemum" is because of Anne Shirley, Anne with an "e". I grew up watching Anne of Green Gables over and over again, memorizing every single word. I have traveled to PEI specifically to indulge in anything and everything related to the series. I have seen various plays, read the books, watched the movies, watched the spinoffs and even tried to watch the remake (I couldn't do it, although I have promised myself I would try again). I have even been to the Stratford Festival just to see Megan Follows, aka Anne, act in Amadeus.
Maybe I should add, I AM CANADIAN!
Anyhow, back to the freaky moment. I currently working to partially remove a tattoo on my back in order to cover it up with something that is more me. I am also working on a tattoo in honor of my daughter. So, while she is named after a flower I was thinking "why be so literal"? So I got the idea to research the flower of her birth month and that's when it happened...
C-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-E...m-u-m! This is the November flower! There were already so many parallels relating to the birth of my daughter, and this just adds to the list. She truly was meant to be... my little wildflower.
I have 2 more weeks left before I go back to work. I think a little Anne of Green Gables marathon might be in order.
