a beautiful rose was sent

This triggers so many memories, my Dad had a lunch pail just like that.

You did good JP, I adore this little slice of life and the wonderful feelings of nostalgia it brings to mind.

Thank you Linda, it's always nice to promote a smile. I usually tend to go the other way with my writing, so this is special.
