Keep the precious gift of love and time!
Read more: Keep the precious gift of love and time!The past 1-2weeks has been a whirlwind. I am still processing it all. I am still making sense of how life can come so close to an end.

Keep trying everything including hope!
Read more: Keep trying everything including hope!I have been numb for the past 2 days. Words failed me. We came close to death. Cancer’s sting is painful. Helpless too.

Keep Dahlias in mind for mother’s and their journey!
Read more: Keep Dahlias in mind for mother’s and their journey!Dahlias are intense flowers like mother. A league on their own, each petal is a colorful ray, of doubled flowers, in yellow or purple-ray florets, whites, ivories, and scarlet rays too.
