thinking of you today... roses from my grandmother's. the one who's crazy in the head
mom picked them at her house the other day after taking her to get a flu shot and she was all emotional inside for missing the mother that she once had. she wanted me to fix them, even though she's much better at that. i was real careful with them and tried to make a cool arrangement that also reflected her aching. this morning at breakfast with so many of them blooming spread so wide, i wanted you to have them all. i went out on the chill of the porch and took some photos. this one's distorted cos i couldn't size it right. but watch your mail *smile*...love, surrounding the darkness, drowning the sadness. just for you.
