Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Since the florist had put each rose (45!) in a water vial - good for a few hours, we decided it was best to hand out our anniversary roses, pronto!

Straight from camping and feeling a little rough, we set to work sharing.

Propped a rose at apartment doors where my sister lives. Handed one to each bingo player at the Center. Saved a rose for me, for my niece, rhubarb sharing friend and brother-in-law’s home altar - where other sister’s ashes are resting along with some momentos. The bouquet remainder, we gave to passing tourists, as we sat on a shady bench in front of the Center.

So many congratulations and wishes we received, along with a few disbelievers of “Free? You mean you’re just giving these away?”

The price of love is a freedom of the heart, don’t you think?

How fortunate MisterM and I realize and celebrate this joyous truth!

*Many thanks to a kind friend and the delicious gift of fine chocolates.
