"Lean On Me" ~~ showing the soulful beauty of spent flowers.
These are two of the flowers I gathered at the time of my mother’s passing several years ago. I arranged them together as I looked out into the back yard of our old homestead.
This picture has come to represent different things to me.
My mother and father as they lived and aged; my brother who was once a strong young boy, only to become, in the blink of an eye, a quadriplegic in a wheelchair the rest of his life; my sister and me, changing places as we needed to, leaning on each other over the years and through it all. And now, especially front and center, it’s me and my husband, supporting each other the best we know how.
