My mum bought us a 'in loving memory rose bush' on the 6th month anniversary of Stephanie's death.
I always think 'anniversary' sounds like something to be celebrated. It's been 8 months since Stephanie died. I was counting in weeks and soon it'll be years before we know it.
Stephanie will NEVER be forgotten, she is in my mind every day. There are photos and items of hers dotted around the house, that have always been with us, but her physical presence is missed and the ache in our hearts doesn't heal, nor does it get better with time, we're just learning to live with the whole she has left in our lives.
I planted the Rose with my grandson on the anniversary.
It flowered for Father's Day which made me really happy and hopefully it will flower the same time every year.
