Plant of the Day

Friday 12 May 2023

In a shaded part of this garden beneath some shrubs the herbaceous perennial Geranium phaeum (dusky cranesbill, black widow, mourning widow) has fresh foliage and a display of outward-facing dusky purple flowers.

Proposal+mourningwidow

They had overcame many obstacles while being together, her putting up with the constant worry that he wouldn't come home was one of the main reasons, the worry that he would never get to see a child that they conceived together grace the earth, and scared to death she would never get to hold him again. His worrying was that he would come home and she would be gone her father finally convincing her that he wasn't worth waiting on. 

As he paced the living area though, ring in his hand he had never been more sure of anything before. Recently returning from a mission, he wanted to surprise her having made the Captain promise not to mention anything though cruel in a manner of speaking he had something planned and he wanted it to be perfect. 

It was something he had been battling over for a few years now, saving up just the right amount of funds in order to buy the ring. Though it wasn't per say the most expensive ring he wanted to get, it was all the thought that he put into actually getting down on one knee and asking her to be his for the rest of their lives. Marriage had never been a big thing on his mind, simply because it scared him with his job; he didn't want to get married and then die because of how badly it would hurt her in the end.

They had discussed marriage, kids, and what would happen if something did happen to him. He always would end the conversation with 'some day soon, we'll leave these walls and I'll build you a house. I'll be the best father to our children, and we'll not have to live in fear anymore.' she would always smile and kiss him, never objecting to anything he said. 

All he had to do now was wait for her to get back from her morning walk, this was when she bought food for the week and even plucked a flower keeping them all by the window in the kitchen to remind her of him; remembrance of the first time he gave her a single daisy. 

Slipping the ring into the breast pocket of his uniform, he tried to keep his hands from shaking as he paced the room. For Gods sake he was an elite soldier, he could easily taken down a titan without another thought, but this was going to decide his future. So badly did he want her to take his last name, a perfect ceremony that all of his friends and family could attend where they shared proof of their love for each other; proof of the eternal bond they shared.

Amy Lee: You.

When did you first meet Aimi? And how?

Well that is a really funny topic, Aimi I didn't grow up together per say but we knew each other. I always had a crush on her because she perfect to me in every single way, there was nothing about her that I didn't like. To be fair some of my friends actually pushed me into her because they were tired of hearing me talk about how amazing I thought she was, you know you have those type of friends who do horrible things like that. 

I swear she didn't like me at first because I was shy and didn't say much, but as we spent more time together we grew closer and I finally asked her out on a date.

Aimi is an amazingly strong woman, she takes care of things while I'm away on expeditions, she still finds time to write me at least once a week and tell me that she misses me. There isn't a day that goes that I don't think about her and how much I love her, don't say anything anon but when we get home I'm going to propose, I can only hope she says yes because I know I want to spend the rest of my life with her. 

I actually just wrote her a letter to check up on her, since I can't go visit I just want to know that she is doing okay. We are inseparable when we're together after I have come home, at the same time she gives me the space I need when I need it. 

This woman is perfect you know? I feel lucky to have her.

Reunited+mourningwidow

He should have been dead, he could clearly remember what that monster had done to him. He could remember how badly it hurt for those few seconds, that felt like it lasted a lifetime before he lost consciousness; yet here he was, riding back to the wall on his horse it had been several long months before he had even been able to walk again.

All he could think about though was getting back to her, making sure she knew that he was alright. However, knowing Levi he probably already delivered that devastating news of Erd's death to her, broken her heart and confirmed her worst fears.  

Though he wasn't out of the woods completely yet, Erd would be forever stricken with a limp because of the damage the titan had caused to his legs, and lower spine. It couldn't be fixed, and he was fine with that because he was alive and he had never been more thankful to be alive before. 

Their home coming into he felt like he wold rather be out there fighting again, than have to answer to what had Aimi had been told. Erd didn't once blame Levi though, because he thought he was dead, it was a natural reflex and as he climbed off the horse and tied it up to the side of the house, he let out a soft sigh and rubbed its snout. "Wish me lucky." He mused softly.

Erd just hoped that she hadn't moved on yet, he wasn't sure his heart could take it but at the same time if she had he would let her go like a real man should. Resting his weight on the cane, he walked to the door and knocked on it never in his life had he been so nervous before.
