Schlumbergera Again

When I'd finished photographing this last night I noticed this tiny bud and left everything set up to do a blip of it today.

When today came I said I really want to be doing something of mum's today and was trying to think of something of hers I could use. Then I realised, as I said yesterday, this WAS hers.

I'm glad it wasn't a day like today, grey with slushy snow, when the hospital called 6 years ago today. I would have been nervous driving. The sky was blue and the sun that morning as mum passed away.

One of the great things about having this journal is being able to look back on these things, the joy and the sadness. Just giving thanks that this happened then and not now.
