I love the sentiment in the card and also your arrangement of these objects.

Thanks for sharing with Gather's Luminous Writers and Artists.

Now featured.

Thank you for the feature Ann. I picked two of my favorite flowers from two different arrangements. Purple was her favorite color, the rose is beautiful. The lily was a bud at the funeral, and I watched it open yesterday.

ʚϊɞ Carol ʚϊɞ Jan 2, 2013, 11:48am UTC

... and the vase was my Mom's.

Ann Marcaida Jan 2, 2013, 11:50am UTC

You have such a gift for finding beauty in all aspects of life. Thank you for sharing it.

ʚϊɞ Carol ʚϊɞ Jan 2, 2013, 12:10pm UTC

Kind of you to say Ann. Life is about the little things. This has brought me peace and helps me feel closer to her.

Gary, As you know, we have to find some bright light in the midst of all the darkness to get us through. This has been my "little light".
I hope you are managing through your loss.

I know. I have family 'shrines' all over my little apt.. Mom,Dad,my brother Ricky and Melissa. I call them shrines, people think i'm morbid, but it helps me even though they've been dead for years.

ʚϊɞ Carol ʚϊɞ Jan 2, 2013, 4:41pm UTC

I completely understand, I call it survival Kim. Hugs.

Beautiful arrangement. My heart goes out to you and yours. I do favor the Lily and the Vase. The card and rose are beautiful and inspiring. You have such a creative and delicate touch Carol.
