Roses and Butterflies

Slept ok, woke up to cloud, but it was warm.
Today was a day neither me nor any of my close friends were looking forward to.

I drove over to sis's house, then as agreed, we went to meet up by the roadside, opposite our friends house, to pay our respects and say a final farewell to her daughter.

I think it was heartwarming and overwhelming to see so many people there, but, equally, heartbreaking not being able to hug and comfort one another.

I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful casket, white woven willow, with white rose garlands and 38 colourful butterflies, one for each year, that her 10 year daughter had decorated her Mum with, they were her favourite.

Just so so sad, RIP beautiful girl
