Dedicating a rose

[macklingirl]

A friend sent me a link to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, which creates an illuminated rose garden every year in memory of relatives and friends who have died from cancer. You can dedicate a rose for 10 pounds and for me, it is a nice way to remember friends like PFL and Dawnbeth, MLMead and Minori. And both my uncles I lost because of lung

This is beautiful and sad at the same time.

Yes, it is. There are thousands of roses.

It's a beautiful and sad way at the same time to raise money for cancer research.

[macklingirl]

Yes, it is. And it is a nice way to remember those we lost.

Lost another friend to Glioblastoma three weeks ago. :-(

Very sad to think of all the names lost in Pros and at such a young age.

[macklingirl]

Yes, that's true. But I think it is a lovely way to remember.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Uncles. What a wonderful gesture and what a lovely way to remember our much missed Pros friends.

[macklingirl]

Thank you. It was hard when they passed away. One of my uncles died on his birthday. :-(

I love the thought of a rose with a plate with their names on it.
