A Rose for Remembrance
The house and especially the garden held an air of mystery about them. All the curtains were closed, leaving one to wonder what lay inside.
The front garden path was straight and made of solid concrete. Uninteresting. But paths with stepping stones disappeared in between large bushes both to the right and the left. She could see that they wove around among the trees and more bushes. But to where?
She wanted to follow them, but now was not the right time.
There would be time later.
Rose Burns clung tightly to the railing as she climbed the wooden steps of the decades old green painted house. The railing felt solid.

The young black cabbie followed her, carrying all her luggage. He was kind enough to give her time to wobble up the three steps to the large wrap-around porch.
At the top, she opened up her purse, with shaking hands. Her hands always shook these days. That hadn’t always been the case. Once she’d been strong and young. And stunningly beautiful.
Those days were long gone.
She took out the keys that had been sent to her by Dolores’ attorney and inserted the first one in the lock. It didn’t work. She tried the next one, which did.

Who knew what kind of shape she’d been in before the car accident killed her.
Rose stepped over the threshold and the cabbie followed her, bringing all her worldly possessions.
She pulled out her wallet for the cab fare and as generous a tip as she could manage. Which wasn’t much.
Thank you Ma’am,
he said, in an accent she could barely understand.
Where had he said he’d come
