Rough day

Today was a rough day. There has been a lot of........death....around lately, and although it hasn't been a personal loss, one can't help but give a little bit of their heart to those who have been losing people over the last week. A good friend at work lost their mother today, and that always brings up all sorts of emotions. I felt motivated to finally get Mom's rose hung.




















I am happy that Mema had this made for me, so that I can place it to remind me of Mom. I always enjoy little things that I can place around to strengthen that memory. At the same time, I can't help but think, "Why do I have a rose from my mother's casket?" "I shouldn't be lucky enough to put a rose from my mother's funeral on my wall." "Why doesn't someone else have a rose on their wall??" I suppose only God knows...
