I am writing to say what a sad world we live in. I was disabled through an accident three years ago. Where I was always fit and self-reliant, now I am dependant on my family and am housebound without them, so my main joy is the garden and flowers.
For Mother's Day my children bought me two lovely standard roses, which my husband planted in the front garden so I could enjoy them as I spend so much time looking out of the windows. But one night some heartless thief ripped them out of the soil and stole them, probably killing them in the process. They cannot replace the love and enjoyment I got from them.
