Four years

It's four years today since Gordon died.

For a little over three years, Edna cut a rose from her garden and kept it in a vase by his photograph on her mantelpiece. After her stroke, we continued to take roses from her garden for her to keep by his picture on her bedside table.

We don't have many roses in our garden, but today there were three blooms on one of them: the "Peace" rose which was my Nan's favourite. This one's for you, Daddy.
