I think this is wonderful.  I am so happy you two were able to spend time together mourning Heath.  Well done, Friends.

Thank you again RouX and Elle :-*

On one side, the last pic is sad with the writing vanishing and being washed away by the dark waters. Feels somehow symbolic.
On the other side: message delivered! And that's a good thing.

Lovely!

Elle and Roux--

An "Ebb Tide" Rose for you both, in honor of Heath:


"Ebb Tide," a Floribunda. It has a strong clove fragrance, an old fashioned form, a very beautiful mauve and mauve blend blossom color.

I think this is the most beautiful rose I've seen in my life. Thanks for posting this photo. I saved it.

Absoloutely stunning.perfect in every way, from each petal to the colour.Was purple/mauve once the colour of mourning for royalty,or am I mis remembering,no matter.

Anyway,I have waited a while before posting on this section.It just seems so final and that is something I have not been able to get my head round.
However a couple of things happened to prompt this.

I went down to the beach here not one of the main ones,but a smaller one called turtle rock, named because the turtles come up there to nest.It was deserted apart from the odd jogger.
As I paddled at the edge in the morning sun I thought how peaceful it was.Last night I watched a beautiful tribute on you tube to Heath and Matilda set to the song happy ever after in your arms,which Heath had commissioned for his daughter as a lullaby.I sobbed and sobbed.He loved her so very much.

This morning with tears in my eyes,I came here and looked at the pictures of the card lapping at the edge of the waves,the stunning rose,thought of how peaceful I felt yesterday at the waters edge,and just hope that is what Heath has found.

It was a simple and beautiful tribute,you all made to him.He loved the water and it suddenly stuck me how apt it all was,even the run into the water by the mourners,after his,can't say the word.

Thankyou so much for doing that. I have never before found myself hoping so badly that there really is life after death.I used to be such a cynic.Now I hope with every cell in my body that there is and that He is happy ever after and at peace.
That is all we can ever hope, for the ones we love.And no matter  that we did not know him personally,we all loved him on some level,because of his ability to touch our souls.

I am still deeply saddened by it all,but my grasp of what a fitting and simple tribute you did for him,meant I could no longer wait to thankyou,even if I am sitting here with tears streaming unabated down my face.

THANKYOU.
