LOVE LOST, LOVE FOUND
I was able to think more clearly, to focus on the present moment, and to find joy in the small things.
And it was all because of Derek. He had brought light and laughter into my life, and had helped me to find my way again. I was grateful for him, grateful for his kindness and his compassion.
One day, as Derek was visiting me, he brought me a bouquet of my favorite flowers, sunflowers. He arranged them in a vase on my bedside table, and I couldn't help but smile. The bright yellow petals and the tall, statuesque stems of the sunflowers seemed to radiate happiness and warmth.
