And She Was

This is one of the flowers that I took away from my grandmother Irene’s funeral. I saw her the day before Mothers day. I told her that my girls,my mom and I were going to the race track for mothers day .She wasn’t a big better but she loved the racetrack. She and my grandpa celebrated their last big anniversary there and so she told me her favorite number was 4 so I bet 4 dollars on horse number 4 in the 4th race to win…...............I should have bet to place and we would have won LOL…...................... She died around 24 hours later. She had been in the hospital for over a month but was still as sharp as ever. She was the third grandparent of four that I have had to say goodbye to in the past two years….................I have been very fortunate to have them for all of these years…............as I am coming up on 43 years myself. I miss them terribly but I still have my one grandpa left…..........my grandpa George…............I love him so.

Such a fitting tribute Lisa, the lighting is so soft, yet so sharp and the droplets of water glimmer with such hope and like the stars in the sky. Quite possibly your best yet IMHO.

Lisa, beautiful flower. I would think of the raindrops each as a reminder. I have lost all my grandparents and 3 years ago I lost my father. I still have my mother and I make the best of the time I have with her.
