My mum loved flowers. Her ashes will be buried in a garden, which is poetic and wonderful. Every time I see a flower, I have to think of my mum. "She would like that one," is what I say to myself. "She would've liked that one," is what it will turn into, given some time. I was with her when she took her last breath. "I love you," is what I said. Last moment. Last movement. One last breath. She saw my daughter the day before, and she smiled. It was her last smile. We live our lives as if they wouldn't end; as if there was no last breath, no last smile, no last anything. But there is, and that's what makes everything precious. Every interaction, every word, every breath, every goodbye, every smile. There is a last everything. But for as long as we are, there will be flowers. I saw a flower today. "She would've liked that one," is what I thought. And after some time, it will transform again. "She is that one." She is that one. image

I would like to be buried with a young tree planted on me and my memory will be bounded to the tree. No where near a graveyard

This has happened to me so many times too, and it still does. Every time I see ice cream, I think of my mum because she absolutely loved it. Some people never really leave us, they live on in the little things that remind us of them. 🧡🫶🏼💐
I lost my grandmother when I was 14. And I remember that age because I have a younger brother with a large age gap, and he was the last baby she got to see before she passed away. He doesn't remember her for obvious reasons, but the last two events I remember sharing with her were my brother's birth and the results of the county wrestling tournament (myself and 2 of my cousins were in it at the same time). I'm sorry for your loss. The flowers are beautiful. I'm sure she would have liked them.

Sending condolences & love brother 🙏 🌺 🫂
Her 'capolavoro' in life is you. And she will be happy that you have done your 'capolavoro' as well having your daughter. Endless digital hug.
Very cool. I get to see my pop in the ocean, he wanted to travel the world 🌊
Sorry for your loss. My mum loved her garden and flowers too. I shall think of you and your mum as I take photos of our sunflowers today. image
Es kann tatsächlich alles sein. Absolut alles. Meine Mutter war dyslektisch (Jahrgang 1929, damals hieß das noch "dumm"...). Zwei Beispiele: Sie hat es geschafft, in ein einziges Wort drei "Fehler" einzubauen: Benzin. Bei ihr: Mit P statt B, mit s statt z, und auf der ersten Silbe statt auf der zweiten betont. "Es ist zum Depensionen kriegen!" Zweites Beispiel übrigens. Man gebrauche nur wenig Fantasie und ersetzte "Depensionen" durch den korrekten Ausdruck. Wir - die noch lebendigen Verwandten; es wird langsam weniger - haben schon damals mit ihr über diese absurden sprachlichen Verrücktheiten gelacht - und lachen und freuen uns weiterhin, wenn wir daran denken. Every interaction, Gigi. Absolut jede Interaktion.

You have a nice soul @Gigi. I really love the people who love parents and family. I also really love my parents, brother, and sister a lot. Being a lovely person is the most powerful blessing we got. Your mother may be looking at you from heaven. ♥️
