I have an 87 year old friend that is learning how to use his new cell phone.
This morning he took a photo and sent it to me in the hope that it worked.
What a lovely surprise to receive these beautiful roses.
There is a history behind these roses.

The courage of some people never ceases to amaze me. I lost my beautiful wife to pancreatic cancer. She had an operation called a splanchnicectomy and contracted a severe stomach bug from being left to come round on a general ward. She was ill from every orifice and had to be taken to another hospital. I complained-she didn’t. It near broke her heart to have to give her horse to someone 5 days before she went into a hospice. I lived on the floor or in the staff lounge with my daughter and other family members for 6 days until she passed away. Never once did she complain
Huge Hugs
