Flowers for celebration... by maggiemae

Flowers for celebration...

.... of a life! My brother-in-law died and these flowers were sent to his wife who is in a rest home having had a bad stroke 4 years ago. She can't talk and is paralysed down one side so the sight of this posy gave her much pleasure.

Three good things;
1. Now in Auckland and there is high winds and torrential rain. Its good that we have a big hotel room even if we have to pay for internet!
2. I made a slideshow of Bruce and was able to use my newly learnt photographic skills to improve the old photos.
3. The ability to listen
Oh man this sounds like a hard time for your family. I am glad you have been able to be there for them. Yes, listening is sometimes the best gift we can give.

@jackie8 thank you Jackie! - she touched certain flowers in this bouquet and could murmur sounds of pleasure at particular ones, like the hellebores, winter rose!
