Two red roses and chocolate.

Thank you :-)

Forrest Gump said, "Life is a box of chocolates."

Never an expectation, but yes, it was a very pleasant surprise.
Trust me to not notice the surprise. The view from the magic keyhole is always not the complete picture.The lil' slice of life from there is concave and convex from both sides.

Life has more to it and, our journey has begun with/without roses and chocolates --our hands are full aand folded in prayer, hope, faith, trust,dreams, happiness, fear of the uncertain and the unknown. The blooming buds and the love and warmth of the chocolate hold us together for better tomorrows.

The sentiment wrapped around each petal of the rose and the prayer whispered in each blooming bud for a loved one is what makes the rose special for both the giver and the receiver.

Every rose has a story to tell. Chocolates, well. The same story in a breath of sweet fondness.

Smiles.
