>
> She would sit for hours,
> In her husband's favorite chair.
> While staring at his picture,

> A year went by, and it was
> to live without her mate.
> With loneliness and solitude,

> The doorbell rang, and there

>
> She brought the roses in,

> 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 roses where we are,
> together once again.
