They are beautiful @Former-Member
You are so caring leaving me beautiful old fashioned roses...my favourite..
Thank you for your kind words about my being brave enough to open up..
still feel rather fragile and vulnerable around that..
this I realise is because it is a new feeling...will take time for me to feel comfortable..
Sorry to hear about your friend having surgery and now needing more..
That is very hard for you to hear..
I sense that you are very close and that person means a lot to you..
Knowing that you are supporting them...are you able to visit..is that an option for you? would be a great way of not only helping them but helping you...I know that you are a giver and that is your way of feeling appreciated...I am similar..
Please be kind to yourself at this time also..
If you are like me...it can be very easy to try and take some of their pain away...only to find own pain starting to overload..
Hope that makes sense..
here are my flowers to you
I love that they are resting on an open page of what could be a journal..
a place to write your thoughts..
those that might be troubling you still..
or thoughts of what your friend means to you and what they give you..
you could perhaps write some of these feelings in a card..without having to mention their surgery..
a pressed flower placed inside the card..
my idea..does not have to be yours of course..
