Um... what the heck? Allergic reaction aside, I would still be grateful. If someone is upset over an unforseen outcome, they don't deserve the gift in the first place. The intention wasn't malicious. I honestly don't know that I would even tell the giver that I had a reaction unless the reaction was severe. I'm displaying those flowers on my kitchen table with pride. I don't mind suffering a sniffle or two in order to show my appreciation for a thoughtful gesture.

The answer? Me. A bit of me is lost in each passing day. Pieces drifting in the ether just out of reach. The gradual decimation of my soul is practically unnoticeable like leaves slowly separating from a dying tree.

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

Thanks for the ask.
