I had no idea I was valued at all

2 days ago in my rush while out shopping and packing groceries into the car I left a bunch of flowers on top of the car and drove off,and not realising my mistake until i got home,i searched everywhere,and then i remembered,oh s@#&?

However i posted this on my facebook page,and this morning,the doorbell rang,i opened the door to be greeted by my friend Dawn flourishing a massive bouquet of flowers,and i did shed a tear,and i was overwhelmed with her kindness.

She also knew that i always place flowers by my late partner David's photo every week,and i do hope he is looking down on this beautiful display of flowers..

Over the past 15 months i have received numerous acts of kindness which have given me the will to keep ,keeping on,when at times i found the going almost impossible to bear and i really did'nt want to keep on.

But i am glad i am still here.

Brought a tear to my eyes too! How lovely of your friend :) I am pleased you are feeling supported by the acts of kindness you have received. You are obviously loved and valued by people who are also glad you are still around, as we are too 😘Keep, keeping on, better days will come, Laurie xx

That's a lovely gesture by your friend, and assuming the flowers you brought fell off the car, hopefully someone picked them up and helped make their day a bit easier 🥀🌻🌷

What a lovely thing to do. There are some very kind people out there and you are lucky to have such a friend in Dawn. Yes it brought a tear to my eye too. Sending you warm hugs xx

What a lovely thing to do, I think isolation can make us feel very unloveable but clearly this isn't the case.

What a wonderful friend you have to do this for you, And although life maybe difficult we are looking at some shops starting to open from Monday and meeting up with friends. So perhaps your determination to carry on will be rewarded by meeting your friends. Brian

That was lovely of her.Funny you should say about flowers for David my partner was called David and when we bought this house 11 years ago it wad the view that hooked us straight away so I have a pic of him on windowsill with vase of flowers at side. Started off with fresh but then I saw some beautiful roses looked so real got them so permanently there. The first Valentine's day after he died I bought a beautiful bunch of flowers for him, my friend said who are they for and looked at me like I was mad when I said for David

This is view from kitchen window where he is.

Gorgeous photo.I always get flowers to remember special loved ones who have gone on ahead.

Especially love the Spring daffodils -if a flower could look happy they do!
