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 roses where we are, together once again."
红玫瑰是她的最爱,她的名字叫罗丝,也是“玫瑰”的意思。每年情人节,丈夫都要送她用漂亮的丝带扎好的玫瑰花。丈夫去世的那年,她依然收到了玫瑰花,卡片像往年一样写着:“献给我的爱人!”
每年,丈夫送她花时,都要写下这样一些话:“我爱你,今朝更胜往昔。”“时光流转,我对你的爱历久弥新。”她知道,这是她最后一次收到丈夫的玫瑰花了。
