"I hesitated before using it...then decided that death was a part of life."

You are so right, Amy. Tomorrow it will be two months since death touched my life so deeply.........

Look at the hibiscus flower, in time lapse, as it opens with full beauty, and then as it grasps for life, just before it's final close:

Life is Short - Take Time to Smell the Flowers

Isn't it amazing God makes such beauty for a brief time?

I love hibiscus they have prolific blooms.

God can afford to squander beauty everywhere for those with eyes to see.

Frst ... please accept my condolences on your loss. It will soon be a year since my friend from 7th grade died. I’ve really missed her and our conversations.

That Life is Short video is awesome. So pretty and so meaningful.

Wishing you a beautiful day ... big hugs for tomorrow.

Ohh, Yorkie.

I answered your post thinking it was from another. Pam is truly missed at Amy’s Place and Cardu is really missed at FR.

I think of Pam every Saturday.

Big Hugs.

Oh my, the realization of watching that hibiscus open and close. Life does go so fast, we need to take the time to smell the flowers. We sometimes say “Tomorrow, we’ll do that” and then tomorrow may not come. We all know that now by the experience you and your friends went through. I know its hard for you, yorkie. It was hard for all of us but the situation was unbearable for you. You have done very well and I know the Lord watches over you, yorkie.

Hope you’re doing better daily. I still am praying for you every day of my life, friend.

INDEED, YORKIE,

I diligently try and give what flowers I can . . . literally and otherwise . . .

to the living.

Life is short . . . and we are too soon old and too late smart . . .

But we CAN Love every day . . . while we have today.

LUB

Amy, I assume you got the poetry.
