But I am not alone.
For on the table is a beautiful blue hydrangea. A gift from a dear friend in Florida. I love the pale blue white of the plant and the deep blue of the pot. She knows me and my love for blue. It was so sweet of her to send it and it shall be planted outside when it gets a bit warmer. In a place where I can see it from the breakfast room table.
And for a bit of nourishment as I write the notes, is a piece of apricot cheesecake. Quite a tasty gift from a dear friend.
I am not alone for I am surrounded by kindnesses from friends. From the hydrangea and the cheesecake to the many memorials and cards that we received last week.

The cards, the visits, the casseroles and cakes, the thank you's and the leftovers, whether floral or food all come together to help with the healing.
