I'm Keith Simon.

Sometimes when I go to the grocery store, I buy flowers for my wife.
matched
They put the little floral section right at the entrance of the store.
matched
And I think they do that for guys like me so that as soon as I enter and right before I leave, I see flowers and I can ask myself, is there anyone I should buy these for?
matched
I try to find some that I think my wife will like that don't cost too much money.
matched
I bring them home, but really she has usually had to do the hard work of like cutting them and finding the right vase and getting them situated so they look good.
matched
I've been trying to get better at that.
matched
Like I've been trying to find the vase and put the food packet in and all that stuff.
matched
It's not that hard, but I have the ability to screw up even things that shouldn't be difficult.
matched
Well, that little food packet you put in, that keeps the flowers looking better for a longer period of time.
matched
But even that doesn't last.
matched
Christine keeps the flowers that I get her probably for a little too long and they start to wilt and droop and don't look that great.
matched
And then we throw them out.
matched
Flowers, like a lot of things in our world, have a shelf life.
matched
When I bought those flowers, they were already dying.
matched
They were surviving on borrowed time.
matched
Those flowers were dying the moment they were cut because the instant the stem was severed from the plant, it lost the one connection that could actually keep it alive.
So those few days of beauty on your kitchen table, well, they're not really the flower being alive.
There's a slow reveal of a death that's already happened.
