A Picture's Worth a Million Words

Virtual Bouquet

Friend:

I heard you had surgery, I wanted to do

something to help speed up your recovery.

They say a picture's worth a million words,

And the customary thing to do is to send flowers, so I painted this for you.

I'm sorry I was not there for you. You have a special place in my heart.

My picture is to convey what I can't express. I want you to have it before your discharge from hospital. I'm sending it by online messenger so it gets to you as soon as possible. Enjoy!

Me:

Thank you.

You alone sent me flowers, however my fragrance was with me.

He poured me water when I was thirsty.

In his concerns I saw God's mercy,

His affection and gentle tones stabilized me.

Not that he was all I needed but I appreciated being cared for.

Your concerns and well wishes added to his actions and makes my illness bearable.

Others claim to offer prayers but hearing your direct words is encouraging.
