It is difficult to go back to everyday pursuits after something really bad has happened. Every where we look life goes on and we should be thankful that everyone isn't in the state we are but still we have a vague feeling of resentment. Jeff is still in the hospital and his survival is not a sure thing, although every day that passes without a major crisis is a good day.
Remember the song that says "Don't they know, it's the end of the world?" It goes on to say, "since you don't love me anymore" but the feeling of something lost is close even though our trouble isn't a lost love.
A couple of weeks ago one of the cactus,a night-blooming cereus, bloomed. The blossom opens to its fullest during the passing of one single night so when Bob, always the night owl, saw it in bloom he brought it and a flashlight into the bedroom. Usually a middle of the night awakening isn't good but in this case it was wonderful. The delicate petals glowed under the soft light of the flashlight and at least then I was glad the world has continued to turn.
The blossom lasted in to the next morning and I was able to get these pictures.
