A family treasure

In September of 1948 my MIL received this vase full of red roses from her husband, in honor of the birth of their only daughter. She gave me the vase many years ago and I love to use it when I can. When I sorted through my birthday flowers yesterday I put the ones that weren’t too wilted in the vase. Sweet memories for me, of the wonderful woman who gave me the vase. Jerry is doing well, he’s handling the side effects from his immunotherapy treatment very well. He receives his second treatment September 8.

The remnants of your bouquet are so pretty still, and what a wonderful way to display them in a memory filled vase. Good to hear Jerry is doing so well. I continue to keep both of you in my prayers
