Another shot of my Calla Lilies . I had a day out in the garden yesterday while Gary and I cut back overgrown plants and bushes and general tidying up - always something to do in the garden .
This morning we are experiencing a fine drizzle ,but it is trying to brighten up .
I am feeling rather sad today as it would have been my late husband's 80th birthday today ,if the big C hadn't taken him away from me at 50 yrs .
Beautiful color. Thinking of you today. Yesterday it was my turn. My son passed away in Mauritius in 2008. He was only 29 years of age. He was a passenger in a motor vehicle accident.
Oh dear Beryl, that was very young to lose your husband....so many years on your own...thank goodness for Gary! Hard for him to lose his dad at a young age too. Hope your memories will give you joy of past happy times. You never forget!
These lilies are very stately aren’t they...I like the pink ones.
@onewing@sdutoit@ziggy77@gijsje@happypat@koalagardens@gamelee@boatman137@bruni@mittens Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful words - we had a very happy marriage and I have lots of fun-time memories - something to be grateful for , but the disappointment of being parted too soon at times fills me with "hiraeth " ( love and longing ) at times like today when Rod would have been 80 yrs old ! Simply thank you ! :)
Great editing on this nice Calla capture. Fav.
So sorry for you lost. Hope you find the strenght to get on and be greatfull for the time you`ve been together. .
Looks like a painting!
So sorry to hear about your husband's passing so young, I guess that is something you just never completely get over!
Sending you a virtual Hug Beryl!
Thee are gorgeous! My neighbor was throwing her 3 large calla lily plants out in the trash and happened to ask if I wanted them! Yes please! They’re planted directly on the opposite side of the wall from where they were- so hopefully will be happy!
So sad to hear of your husband’s early passing. Sending you hugs today.
@radiogirl@samae@shutterbug49@loweygrace - thank you ll for your kindness - it has hit me more this year as he would have been 80 ! - but I must be grateful as all my memories are happy ones !
Sorry for you , must be difficult at this time of year even after so many years have passed. I hope these beautiful flowers manage to raise up your spirits.
So very sorry Beryl to hear of your sad loss so early in your life together. I hope today brings happy memories of Rod to give your some comfort on his 80th birthday.Sending my love X
