Eternal Roses


I HAVE THE BEST FAMILY, EVER!!!


For two weeks I have been "finding" these eternal roses, one at a time, from each member of my family. They tell me that these roses are actual roses treated in something to make them last "forever".

As beautiful as these roses are, and I love them, they pale in comparison to what came with each one. Attached to each rose was a letter of love and appreciation. It has totally caught me off guard and I've been crying a lot as I've read through the letters, drawings, poems and even an original song from all my children including my mom and my dear sweet hubby!

On the last day I was presented with a solid gold rose for the center and another beautiful poem to go with the bouquet they had been building for me! Every time I look at it, I can't help but be reminded of the outpouring of love that came with each one!

All I can say, is that...

I HAVE THE BEST FAMILY, EVER!!!!!!

I have to agree! I am so jealous. Not because I want roses of my own but because I wasn't a part of it!

It may not be a physical rose in that vase, but know that I have an eternal rose for you too! I love you so much!
