Strong links....

Our theme this week for MM is links and this rose is a link to my sister;  it's 7 years this week since we lost her, but time has dulled that first overwhelming sadness so that now when I think of her it's all about the fun and good times we had together. 

The idea for this blip came to mind as soon as I knew the theme was links, but looking through the entries for the challenge I'm amazed at the diversity seen there.  Many thanks again to Skeena for hosting the challenge.
