Nominator: Emily Galla
Nominee: Melinda Galla (Emily’s mother)
Their Submission: My name is Emily Galla and I believe my mother, Melinda Galla, deserves to be ‘flower bombed’. My mother is a single parent raising 2 high school and college-aged children. Two years ago, my father unexpectedly passed away. His sudden passing affected my family, especially my mother, in a way that has forever changed our lives. My mother assumed the roles of both parents, including the yard work. Planting flowers used to be my mother’s favorite activity to do with me. However, that has fallen to the wayside as things are of greater importance to her at this time. Flowering and planting are the things that bring her the most joy, and I know getting ‘flower bombed’ will be one way that hopefully can inspire her to begin planting flowers again. I can see no one more deserving of this opportunity than my mother and I hope we will be taken into great consideration.
