Wedding Anniversary Gift
PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
A rose for every year that we are married he promised and I laughed, the novelty would soon wear off or he’d forget.
I never expected what would appear for our first anniversary a single red nine-carrot gold rose. At least it would be easier for me to save and wouldn’t need drying out first.
He still continues to buy me a rose every year, they continue to sit on my sideboard as focal of the room. I’ve never questioned them or asked wouldn’t it be cheaper to go to the florist. I just continue to admire them.

Sweet. Sometimes it’s okay to just accept the gift and not question it 🙂
