The joy of an unexpected bunch of flowers

Good morning, everyone. Yesterday I was feeling a little sad. My son had arrived. From his home Kendall the night before. To paint my wooden sheds. That was good. I was delighted to see him. And he did a wonderful job. But yesterday. was the 5th anniversary of my husbands death. After my son Neil went home back to Kendall. I was feeling a bit tearful. House always feels empty after a member of my family I've gone. Which I'm sure many of you know. About. And half an hour later. My next door neighbour. Knocked. With a bunch of roses. Beautiful yellow roses. His wife always remembers Reg's anniversary. They were so beautiful. And they were so kind. I managed to shed a few tears. Which always relieves the tension a little. But today is another day. And this sun is out take care everyone hope you all have a good peaceful day everybody. Mags1947

Hello Mags.

I understand that feeling very well. When we lose someone we sort of get used to the silence after awhile but then something jolts a memory or reminds us that they are no longer with us. It can be gut wrenching. I try to remember during these times a particularly good memory and that brings the person back to me even for a few seconds. I am very glad your neighbour brought you the roses, I think that was your husband returning, to remind you that he is not too far away.

Sending you love and a gentle hug.

Cas xx 🌹

A lovely, caring gesture by your neighbour. Good neighbours are few nowadays.

Aw that's lovely Mags, just what you needed. I know that feeling so well of the emptiness when a loved one has left. My family all live far away too. Luckily my son & family are coming over next Friday from France, they've had to cancel their last 3 planned visits so this time its special.

I'm now glad that I left some yellow roses on my friend & neighbour's doorstep along with her shopping yesterday . She's 83 and has covid bless her.

Thinking of you. P

Thank you (this is the second time I have started to reply to you I lost the first one) don't know if I fired it off to soon or deleted it somehow. Have a lovely time with your family it must have been dreadfully the last couple of years if family live abroad. How kind of you to leave roses for your neighbour I hope she gets as much pleasure as I have from mine. Have a lovely time with your son. Mags

That's a beautiful story, both for the kindness of your neighbours and the love that you shared with your husband. xxxx

Yellow roses are my favourites, that was kind of your neighbour. Five years is no time but your husband is still with you, and always will be ❤️
