I feel lucky to be 46. I feel lucky to be surrounded by love. I feel lucky to be healthy. I feel lucky that yesterday I could make the beds, shop for roses, read a book, communicate with friends via phone, email, and texts, have a lovely dinner out, sleep soundly. In another part of the country, a beloved cousin is under hospice care, facing an uncertain future with grace, with faith…. I wish I was there, helping where possible, offering support. But I'm here. So I pray, I listen, I squeeze my eyes tight and visualize less pain, more peace…..PEACE…..it's a beautiful thing.

This has always been one of my favorite roses. We moved to a brand new house in November and I am dieing to get some stuff planted – climbing & shrub roses especially. But it’s rained every single day I haven’t worked!
I love that your rose garden started as a memorial and keeps growing.
When we lose someone at a young age, it does make us so appreciative of growing old. I’m glad to be almost 53 (tho I have to admit, I’m not glad I look 53!!)
Thank you for sharing yourself with us ~ Sherry -
the new rose is wonderful… fits perfect in the free place! all the best to your cousin… cheers, manja

I love that “Peace” rose. My parents have just sold their house, where a climbing “Peace” went right over the roof one summer… -
46 Rocks!
Love, peace, and strength to endure to you and yours.

Happy Birthday Michelle! After seeing your rose garden I went out and bought some to plant. I’m hoping they’ll survive our very cold climate.
