i woke up this morning to a bouquet of six pink flowers wrapped in tissue and bows. roses and gerberas. all six in different shades of pink. from peachy to magenta.

'and a yellow one for this year because its been so hard'

so. a bunch of seven flowers. for our seven years together. as marked today. so. happy seventh to us.

now go have a look at the photo of us taken our first summer together. every time i see it, i smile. i cant believe how young we look. but then i remember. that it was before the business took over. and before the world became so harsh and unforgiving. and before all that heartbreak. and all of those other ugly things. and before. you know. this last year we had. and when we were truly us.
