dear diary,
Today I decided to not do anything,just leaving it to Laura, my eldest daughter to work on everything. Its kind of sweet escape when I didn't have to do all the decision. It starts off nicely when Laura agreed to take charge of the whole event an of course her younger siblings have to help her. I did said that I want to be their guest of honor and let the siblings entertains me. But it doesn't include the canna lilies I've ordered before the party. It was so beautiful so I decided to get them in large quantity. Oh, what harm will it do when I finally got enough of canna lilies for the first time. And I thought the garden party would be a very suitable excuse for having them. Laura was kind of mad at me, I guess when the florist arrived home earlier to deliver the lovely flower. Ah, it doesn't matter. After all, they're all just flowers, a decoration. But things aren't work quite smoothly when I got the news that our neighbour was dead. Laura freaks out when she knew about it and rushed to my room. I thought something really bad has happened, ya, based on the look on her face I did. Then again, it was just a random neighbour who got killed by an accident with a horse. How tragic must it have sounded when he left a widow and a half dozen of child to weep for him. As their family is a low class family, I did not agree with the suggestion of Laura to stop the party. It sounded absurd. It is indeed ridiculous when you have to stop an event because someone had just died. It doesn't work that way. So I told her to go on with the preparations and to make her feel better I had given her a hat, a beautiful one I supposed. Can't help but noticing it when people praise the hat when she wore it at the party though. As I planned, the party was a success. My children was happy, I was personally satisfied until my husband mention the death in front of our gate. Then when I looked at all the leftovers, the sandwiches, the muffin and all, this idea came across me. Perhaps I should give them to the widow and the children. at least they will worship it rather than them going to waste. When I think of it, it's fine to show some hospitality to our neighbour by giving them food and sending your daughter on your behalf. When i send Laura off to the house, she took extra long time to come home, so I was worried. Then I asked Laurie to go and look for her. But when Laura get back from the house, I noticed that her face was swollen a bit. Did she cried? I hope not. Cause it's not worth it.
