Lilac

This morning when I woke up, I checked my phone and I learnt that my lovely Italian yoga teacher C had lost her dear father during the night. We had been in constant touch since he was taken to hospital about ten days ago. Whenever somebody loses their father, I relive the time I lost mine and I feel overwhelmingly sad for them. The pain is so much when you lose a parent, but you don’t fully understand it until you live the experience yourself. C is a very brave girl and I know she will be strong. My love goes to her today and to her family. 

Lilac is one of my favourite flowers for its delicate, but powerful scent. The picture was taken on my walk with LDC today.
