Robert and Red Roses by A.E.W

“Hey you , visiting times over for today.”
“It isn't time yet .” Robert Kelly a look of pleading in his cloudy blue eyes .
The nurse sighed .
“Ok five minuets....that’s all I'm giving you , if your here by the time I'm back I'm calling security.” she said irritated and walked off.
Robert turned back to look at his wife , and took her hand gently in his . Her hands where so soft now , becoming old had taken away her freedom to garden .The love she held even him for as long as he could remember.

How was it they could get so far together only to be torn apart in the end?

Her eyelids slowly opened and Roberts heart skipped a little .
She smiled weakly and he felt a sudden feeling of horror.
She was peaceful...no anger or stubbornness ...she was accepting not fighting
“Cindy....” He began crying something he always had a problem with doing in front of her .
She squeezed his hand ...and let go.

The funeral home was full of pretty much mainly pity for him...or so he thought. The gifted freshly cut roses to Cindy and gave him their sympathy...pity same thing.
She would have hated to see those flowers.,their life prematurely ripped from them.
When it was his turn to pay respect be brought up a small bush of mini red roses . Without saying a word he grabbed the urn lifted up the plant from its pot and dumped the ashes in with the soil .
Feeling the stares and jaw drops as he started walking away .
He took took Cindy with him , she needed some sun.
