Thank you, Robyn. The line that stays with me is that you saw them while you watched the funeral on a screen. When you cannot be there in person, flowers are how you arrive anyway, and yours were there in your place while you looked on from afar.

That is the hardest version of this, being kept from a goodbye you wanted to be at, with a screen between you and it. Knowing your flowers were there, and that you could see them, is something real to hold onto. They were your presence there, even when you could not be.

You said they were lovely, and it sounds like they carried what you needed them to. Thinking of you, over in Gladstone.
