Pink roses for father’s day

Honour your father and your mother: that your days may be long on the land which the Lord your God has given you.

Exodus 20: 12
Our late Mum in the middle and your two girls.

Happy Father’s day Dad.
Some pink roses and white elder flowers in a jug chosen by our late mom a long time ago.  I remember her liking the set in our favourite charity shop. We have always loved and respected you as our parents. Thank you for being our Dad.❤  We know we had bad times and good times… that is life. You were ever the optimist so I know you saw the roses…

The optimist sees the roses and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious of the rose.

Kaolin Gubron

Those who don’t pick roses in summer won’t pick them in winter either.

German proverb

The world is a rose,  smell it, and pass it to your friends.

Persian proverb

Happy father’s day!

The value of a loving father has no price.

Unknown  (but we all know that in our hearts.)

    1. Yes, the roses poke out of a hedge where they are cut and squared off every now and then . I always stop to look at their unusual stripes and today I picked a cluster before they get cut … sq🤪

  1. Love Mom and us in the first pic🥰. Good quotes, those. Will pass message along to Dad. He’ll be pleased.
