Daffodil Day 2023
 |
I present this very gruff outward appearance only to go to pieces at children's hospitals — and their cancer wards in particular.
Today is Daffodil Day. Daffodil Days, usually held in March as a vehicle by which funds are raised and awareness spread regarding cancer using the cheery daffodil.
Cancer kills more than 600,000 of us annually and affects countless lives of significant others as well.
Since the 1950s, the daffodil been utilized as a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of cancer.
This bright flower represents the hard work done by researchers and clinicians working to find a cure and improve treatment modailities for cancers of all types.
It all began with the Canadian Cancer Society.
Now cancer research organizations internationally use the daffodil as an emblem of hope and gaining wellness in the face of disease.
So it wouldn't hurt to bring a few daffodils and mention their significance in your travels these days.
Maybe someday I won't have to break down and cry quite so much.
