A PINK DAY

Last Tuesday ( January 21st.) was an important day in our house,

my daughter India ‘s 21st. birthday.

Sadly India was not physically present to celebrate with us.

Due to a brain tumour she is now dancing with the angels.

We held a special family dinner, in her honour.

India was known as the pink princess, so the table was 

themed with pinks.

                                         Pink lillies were her favourite flower, so I placed them in her

                                         grandmother’s china cups.I know she would have smiled.

                                      A celebration cake filled with stawberries was the order of the day.

                                   After dinner we released several hot pink balloons, I’m sure

                                   she would have been pleased.

.  

                                 A good friend sent me this poem;

                            Those we love don’t go away

                             They walk beside us everyday

                              Unseen, unheard, but always near

                              Still loved, still missed and very dear.

                          Beautiful words and oh so true.

A sad but beautiful day of both celebration and reflection.

    What a lovely thing to do. Beyond beautiful table, and I know you pleased her. My mother didn't survive her brain tumor either, and so I know just a little of what you experienced. Not so bad as the death of a daughter so young, though … you are in my thoughts.And you look quite pretty in your polka dots!
