a piece of her...

A few months ago, one of my students gave me a mini rose bush. I knew exactly what to do with it. The courtyard at my apartment has all sortsa plants and trees and the manager takes great pride in all of it. So I took that rose bush and planted it in the courtyard. Everytime I look at it, it reminds me of home. Reminds me of my mom and how she loved her rose bushes. So now I have a physical, tangible thing to look at each day that reminds me of all those things!

I miss her so! I know she smiles down on me! Especially now because the rose bush is blooming...
