I Saved the PetalsTiny Love Stories Pressed Between the Pages of a Life I Love
by Heather Medley Welcome to the soft, quiet middle of my story — and maybe yours too.
Inspired by the New York Times Tiny Love Stories, I Saved the Petals is a heart-full collection of short, poetic reflections on motherhood, marriage, faith, friendship, teaching, and the ordinary magic of everyday life. Each story is under 100 words. But somehow, they hold entire worlds. You’ll find tales of laundry and church camp, family dinners and deep grief, porch proposals, and tater tot casseroles. These tiny stories are real, raw, and often ridiculously relatable — like petals saved from a bouquet long gone, pressed between the pages of a life that’s been deeply loved. Whether you read one at a time or devour them all in one sitting, I hope they leave you feeling seen, softened, and a little more in love with your own story. |
