I followed from Emily's imperfect prose as I'm contemplating a piece.<br />This writing touched me deeply as I used the same quote about my mother shortly after she passed away. Snow fell in our desert (a rarity) and I found a rose covered in the powdery pure dust. I laid it on the grass and snapped its picture (not sure where), and used the quote you used above.<br />"God gave us memories that we might have roses in December."<br />Mom passed away in December. Snow fell on the roses in January.<br />Thank you for the memory~Blessings,<br />JanisJanis Van Keurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291628430833626275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299990210253432808.post-5494037116010351512010-10-27T17:18:33.519-07:002010-10-27T17:18:33.519-07:00Thank you for sharing this! my response is difficu...Thank you for sharing this! my response is difficult to word but you touched a deep part of my heart, such beautiful words and such a strong reminder for thankfulness!Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110801618929370253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299990210253432808.post-49832733942286584352010-10-27T15:29:05.874-07:002010-10-27T15:29:05.874-07:00oh...this one stings...each moment is a blessing.....oh...this one stings...each moment is a blessing...and glad you looked in taht mirror to see it because i needed to hear it today...smiles.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299990210253432808.post-81559734405412078842010-10-27T08:53:10.542-07:002010-10-27T08:53:10.542-07:00Thank you.. ah, I don't know, I just constantl...Thank you.. ah, I don't know, I just constantly ALWAYS have people around me telling me I'm so damn young, and naive and young and young ,young,young- and young and wrong..<br />haha of course I've tried talking to her,<br />Only if she would listen,not just her, but myself as well, I can't get serious with her, I get scared and back out because I know its going to turn into a huge argument and war.
