Once Upon A Rose
by IndigoButterfly

Comment by K3Master:
The wilting petals she arranged just so, as she wiped a tear from her eye. They were her mother's favorite, these flowers. Their hues had always filled her eyes with a shining happiness, and so she had brought them to her daily to replace the ones that began to die, as much to see that brightness in her mother's eyes as because she could not replace her dying body.

She arranged the petals, and kissed her fingertips, and touched her mother's urn and said a final goodbye. She then turned and placed a new bouquet beside a photograph of her mother in her younger days and touched a kiss to that as well.

As long as she had these, her memories would never fade.

Centered. Not only because the person has a clear conscience, but the subject is also balanced

I like it. It's a little rough (not great focus/sharpness), but good light. The holding something in the hands idea is pretty old, but you made it work. Too bad it's not 720px. :(
