1921. Valentine Rose...

I've had a day to breathe today after what has been a very challenging few weeks.  Having some time at home and even getting a chance to take a photo has been a real blessing.
I found this rose on a bench on Valentine's Day as we were walking through the park.  It had a label on it asking the finder to take it home and put it in a vase.  I thought that was a lovely thing to do so I picked it up and brought it home.
Well, the funeral was last week and there were 600 people there, it was a wonderful send off but very emotional for everyone.  My dear son in law has now been laid to rest alongside his parents in a quiet spot and we can now start to think about rebuilding our lives.  His widow is far too young to be in such a position but she is back at work and trying to do "normal" stuff...what do you do when there is no "normal"?

So here's to the future...whatever it holds...hopefully joy will return at some point....
