Gift in a box

I got home from a seriously complicated morning to find a little box the size of a CD but a little fatter, and these flowers were inside.

With the instruction to snip the ends and place in water, it was a lovely gift.

Timely.

And really late this evening, a lady who felt frightened in her own home was brought to ours for the night. It meant a night even later than normal but it was good to have her here. My heart breaks for women who live with people who terrify them.
