This is really
sweet!
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, way before the
time.
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 doorbell 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 telephone, 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,"
nbsp;
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.
Or 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 roses where we are, together once
again.
Sometimes in life, you find a
special friend;
Someone who changes your life just by being part of
it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in
the world. Someone
who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just
waiting for you
to open it.
This is
Forever Friendship.
This is the sacred RED ROSE.
You MUST pass this
rose on to at least 5 people within the hour of receiving
this rose. After
you do, make a wish. If you have passed it on, your wish will
come true and
love will come your way shortly. If not your life will stay
the same as
it has always been.
(No Threats.) Just be nice & pass it on....
May we all be loved so much?
