A rose for Mum by rosiekind

A rose for Mum

We went to scatter the ashes for Mum and my aunt today in the rose bed at Roxton Chapel. I had taken Mum there last summer for the last time before she died and she was so pleased to show me exactly where she wanted her final resting place to be. She knew that she was dying and wanted a last visit to the Chapel where she had been a regular worshipper and Sunday School teacher for many years. I didn't feel so upset today because it was a final tribute to her and a simple way of saying thanks to her for being such a good mother. I just felt a little sad that I cannot bring her over to sit in my garden. She would have loved to see this rose for herself. Farewell my best friend
By the way, have a look at the Chapel 7 December 2012 in my 365 Album
You've certainly done your Mum proud with this stunning photo. What a beautiful way to remember your very special Mum.
