It was supposed to rain. They went to the arboretum anyway. She wanted to see the peony garden where they were married.
It started to drizzle, then pour. Her son held an umbrella over her while she leaned down to sniff the battered but fragrant blooms already past their prime.
Lauren Budrow is an Assist. Professor of Mortuary Science.
How touching and beautiful.
Well done, Lauren.
Lovely. I can hear the rain on the umbrella. And the obliging son protecting his mother, as best can. ❤️
