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 still  26  to her door.

Her loving husband did not know that he would  30  . he always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy,  31  would work out fine.”

A year went by, and it was  32  to live without her mate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses  33  , calling the florist shop. The owner answered, and she asked him , if he would explain, why would someone do this to her,  34  her such pain?

“I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago,” The owner said, “I knew you’d  35  , and you would want to know. “ “ The flowers you received today, were   36  in advance.” “Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance.”

She thanked him and  37  the phone, her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to 38  the card. Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. This is what he wrote: “Hello my love, I know it’s been a year  39  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 40  . for if it was the other way, I know how I would feel. The love we shared  41  everything so beautiful in life. I loved you more than words can say.”

“You were my friend and lover, I know it’s only been a year,  42  please try not to grieve. I want you to be happy,  43  when you shed your tears. That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.”

“ When you get these 44  , think of all the  45  that we had together, and how both of us were blessed. I have always loved you and I know I always will. My love, you must go on, you have some living still.”
