An old, Victorian style table with eight elegant chairs was obviously the focal point of the room, resting on a beautiful green, gold, and red toned carpet.

Even though red roses are a symbol of love and passion; in American Beauty we get to see that there is a lack of love and compassion for another.

Her roses were always beautiful and as she continued to get sick I would keep tending to the garden and she would sit in a chair outside and watch me and smile as I continued to do the things that she loved to do with me.
