Ann's Rose

Little did I realize that the rose that Lauren Ann and I planted together when she was still in high school would be a gift that would be returned to me each year. This is a shot taken from the garage window. I noticed the roses blooming when I pulled into the garage and stepped out of my car. Memories as fresh as the blooms drew me to my daughter and I sent the photo to her by email saying "I miss you." Her response, "Just a reminder of how much I love you."
