My Lilacs are Blooming

You can not imagine how exciting this is.
We have had two lilac bushes in our garden for several years.
But have not had one bloom in ages.
I have been waiting patiently.
In desperation the lilacs were moved to what we hoped would be a better, sunnier location.
And to my delight both bushes have now many lovely blooms.
Happiness!
This photograph shows the first blooms on a lilac which was given to us by my Dad.
It was a small sapling at the time, so I expected to have to wait awhile to enjoy the flowers.
My Father knew how much I loved the lilacs in his garden.
I now see these first-ever blooms and can feel his presence.
I Miss you Dad. It has been three years today without you.
Still can't believe it.
 But now I have this special piece of your garden in my own.
Priceless.
