These beautiful Iris flowers were in my "shoebox" file, and after seeing them and working with my photo a bit, I decided to post it again. Made a few changes, but it feels kinda good to post them on this day. My Mom passed away a few days ago,but I just found out about it today. So her love for flowers are being passed on in the posting of this photo. I am very grateful for the friends I have here in caedes. Thank you all for the many things we've all shared. My parents always lived so far away from me. So, altho I can't be there, I an thankful I can post some words and some beauty here.Enjoy these beautiful colours too.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. The flowers are beautiful Miss V:))
“They are not dead, who leave us this great heritage of remembered joy….
They still live in our hearts, in the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared—
They still breathe in the lingering fragrance windblown from their favorite flowers—
They still smile in moonlight’s silver and laugh in sunlight’s sparkling gold—
They still speak in the echoes of words we’ve heard them say again and again—
They still move in the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of tossing branches.
They are not dead; their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.
They are not apart from us, but a part of us….
For love is eternal; and those we love shall be with us throughout eternity.”
“After the coldest winter, the warmth of springtime beckons, and after the darkest night, the light of dawn appears once more. After the grayest store, a rainbow paints the sky with color, and after the strongest waves, fragile seashells line the shore. After the deepest loss, God gives the healing gift of memories to comfort and bring peace of mind when those we love are gone….”
“We can’t know why the lily has so brief a time to bloom in the warmth of sunlight’s kiss upon its face before it folds its fragrance in and bids the world goodnight to rest its beauty in a gentler place. But we can know that nothing that is loved is ever lost, and no one who has ever touched a heart can really pass away, because some beauty lingers on in each memory of which they’ve been a part.”
