i saw her arriving in the ward on a stretcher with a bouquet of purple flowers neatly tucked in to her sides.
It looked nice but the overall picture was not so rosy.The multitude of health issues were there to deal with besides her age.She was 80 years younger who made you wondered how she managed out so far.
Overtime I knew about her,her pains,her life,passions and hobbies.One of her hobby was to send flowers to people in their good times and not so good times.I learned that flowers are natures gift,a way of decorating our lives with color,fragrance and delicacy.
I saw that every few days she was receiving a nice bouquet and her room was becoming a wonderland of exotic flowers.Flowers say it all even without a message card,she told me that. If I have to live again I will live as a flower she continued.
That was my last conversation with her.She left behind tons of flowers,all reminded us of her presence,even though she was not there.
Yes,I remember her words:flowers say it all even without a message card.
To some of us she touched our lives with a different perspective;flowers are forever as is her memory.

"don't forget to stop and smell the flowers".
Flowers stay forever with their looks, smell and best part their romance.Flowers are forever, the best gift and best way to touch a person's heart.
