Thoughtful Gift


As we prepare for my mom's funeral, I received this beautiful flower arrangement from some good friends. I am touched by their thoughtfulness.

The funeral is a bit delayed as we wait for family to fly in from abroad. It is sad that it takes an occasion like this to bring about long overdue family reunions. But it is what it is and everyone is excited. There has been a lot to organize and plan.

It's such a shame we make this effort to see relatives after a death and not so much before. Beautiful flowers. Very thoughtful of your friends.

Beautiful arrangement of flowers. One side it is sad to think about the death and the other side it is good to visit all and make us feel some relaxed...

That is a very thoughtful gift. I hope you have a good time with your family and some good can come from the tragedy.

What a beautiful bouquet. It is that way with some of my family too. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Lovely gift. Yes, sad I think in some ways that all travel so to see after the passing. But a family get-together can be nice too.

That is a lovely arrangement, very thoughtful.

So many families seem only to get together at either weddings and/or funerals ...
Even though it will be a sad time I do hope you enjoy being together.
Thinking of you

ALl the best Jan

How lovely! Those hatchings, matchings and dispatchings are a reflection of how families come together. We cousins were not invited to an aunt's funeral and it broke our hearts. Strictly immediate family. You sound good. Well done.
