A DAPHNE 🌸🌸🌸

magnolia daphne beauty🌸

the below image is one i created as a dear memory of mine, one of meeting a daphne.

i did talk about this a tiny bit a couple of months back but thought it too sacred to share here at that time.

one morning,

 an icecold morning (minus 3),

 i was out at 4am starting my morning walk. 

20 minutes in to my walk i stumbled upon something moving and oh how it scared me.

  i realized quickly that an old lady had stumbled and fallen and did not know where she was, or why she was there.

 she was in a nightgown, barelegged. 

she was so cold.

 i at once called the ambulance/ police and oh did we have to wait. 

i gave her my coat my gloves my hat and i held her in my arms but she was still so cold.

 it took almost 2 hours for help to come.
barefoot:((( she was so soft yet sooo unearthly shivering cold.

i did know her name daphne,
 by then and
 that she did live with her daughter alison and her husband dave. 

for me this experience was one of humanity and love, 

daphne gave me love.
 how i adored her. 
this 93 year old woman she was my little one for those couple of hours. 

i had not felt that closeness with anyone for so long. yes it did give me love.

and oh how she was suffering😔

the police found her family,

 the ambulance came 

and thank god she survived. 

alison (her daughter) told me she had to go to the emergency (alison used another term, one that freaked her & me out)

she was so cold so everything was uncertain.

a couple of weeks after i met them in their home:) 

daphne in pink. 

the family, dogs 

and a lovely talking bird plus a garden that = magic:)

 oh dear daphne.

i was gifted this magnolia celebration flower which i now created art with its blooming blooms💜

 i have started to scan my polaroid images
