This is a fictional piece.

A sad but beautiful write

I know you mentioned this is a fictional piece, and I also know I never questioned the authentic emotion in it. You wrote this well - with the "matter of fact" of what you're expected to do next, and the meaning of a simple flower arrangement. This is one of those pieces that really show how powerful memories are, how tangible they can become, and how unpredictable and cruel life can be, and we somehow have to just keep going.
