Roses for Rose
Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. And every year
her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the
roses were delivered to her door. The card said, 'Be my Valentine, '
like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, 'I love you
even more this year, than last year on this day. ''My love for you will
always grow, with every passing year. 'She knew this was the last time
that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance
before this day. Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away.
He always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, everything
would work out fine. She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very
special vase. Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face.
She would sit for hours, in her husband's favorite chair. While staring at
his picture, and the roses sitting there.
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. With loneliness
and solitude, that had become her fate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentines
before, the door-bell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She
brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock. Then, went to
get the tele phone, to call the florist shop. The owner answered, and she
asked him, if he would explain, why would someone do this to her, causing
her such pain?
'I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago, ' The owner said,
'I knew you'd call, and you would want to know. ' 'The flowers you received
today, were paid for in advance. ' 'Your husband always planned ahead, he
left nothing to chance. '
'There is a standing order, that I have on file down here. And he has paid,
well in advance, you'll get them every year. There also is another thing,
that I think you should know. He wrote a special little card. . . he did
this years ago. '
'Then, should ever, I find out that he's no longer here. That's the card. . .
that should be sent, to you the following year. '
She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers
shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card. Inside the card, she saw that
he had written her a note. Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what
he wrote:'Hello my love, I know it's been a year since I've been gone, I hope
it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome. ' 'I know it must be lonely, and
the pain is very real. For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel.
The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than
words can say, you were the perfect wife. '
'You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need. I know it's only
been a year, but please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy, even when
you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years. '
'When you get these roses, think of all the happiness that we had together,
and
how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will.
But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still. '
'Please. . . try to find happiness, while living out your days. I know it is
not easy, but I hope you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and
they will only stop when your door's not answered, when the florist stops to
knock. '
'He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. But after his
last visit, he will know without a doubt. To take the roses to the place,
where I've instructed him, and place the rose where we are, together once
again.'
