Good Grief 121

My friend came round laden with food and these flowers.
After she went I put the flowers in the vase that my husband bought for me. I adore this vase and for the first couple of years I religiously filled it with flowers. Eventually my efforts dwindled and I gave up and it has sat empty for a long time. It became rather symbolic.
It has been interesting to see how even more detached I have felt since feeling physically unwell.
It is strange how sometimes you can feel life ebbing out of you.
