till death do us part..

A Single Long-Stemmed Rose


“Every day since my husbansd, Jack Benny, has been gone, the florist has delivered one long-stemmed red rose to my home...”Mary began. For the first few weeks, I was in state of deep mourning. It never occurred to me to ask who the roses were coming from.
“I can't begin to express the grief I felt. Jack's loss...Our separation after forty-eight years of complete togetherness...My feelings of utter loneliness, even though I was surrounded by relatives and dear, dear friends who tried to cheer me up.
“Jack died the day after christmas. The New Year of 1975 came and went without my noticing it. I heard of people 'being numb with grief', but I had never fully understood what those words meant-not until I went through it myself.
“It must have been seven or eight weeks before I finally asked the maid who the daily flower was from. To my surprise, she had no idea. I called our florist and asked him...
“He told me that quite a while before Jack passed away, he stopped in to send a boquet of flowers to a friend. As Jack was leaving, he sudeenly turned back and said, 'david, if anything should happen top me, I want you to send my doll a red rose every day...'
“When the florist finished, I was silent for a moment, and tears started running dwn my face. I thanked him and sid good-bye”.
Subsequently, Mary7 learned that Jack had actually included a provision for the flowers in his will. ne perfect reed rose was to be delivered to her evry day...for the rest of her life.

---Most of the time it took a lot of years to forget or if not moved on from the past...may it be because you both decided to part ways, one of the couple went out of love or one of them passed away...either of the three will cost so ,much pain. the kind of pain that will make you go like crazy..a kind of pain that is so hard to manage.In this life were nothing is fair we have to learn how to accept everything that happens to us.After the acceptance, trust me everything will be alright.
