OMG I'm still crying after reading this........

ROSES @-->--> @-->--> @-->--> @-->--> @-->--> @-->-->

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 looked at them in shock. Then, went to the telephone, to call the florist shop. @-->-->

The owner answered, and she asked, if he would please explain. Why would someone do this, and cause her so much 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, she read what he had wrote... @-->-->

"Hello my love, I know it's been a year that 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. @-->--> @-->--> @-->--> @-->--> @-->--> @-->-->

Every woman should be so lucky to have a husband this loving!!!!
