RedRoses!!



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
workout 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 then just
looked at them in shock.

Then, went to get the telephone, to call
the florist shop.

The owner answered, and she asked him, if
he would explain,

Why would someone do this to her, causing
her such 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 sawthat 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 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.

Sometimes in life, you find a special
friend;

Someone who changes your life just by
being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh until you
can't stop;

Someone who makes you believe that there
really is good in the world.

Someone who convinces you that there
really is an unlocked door

Just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship.

This is the sacred REDROSE.

You MUST pass this rose on to at least 5

people within the hour of receiving this rose.

After you do, make a wish.

If you have passed it on, your wish will
come true and love will come your way shortly.

If not your life will stay the same as it has
always been.

Just be nice, pass it on....May we all
be loved so much.

Friend, If I don't get this back I can take a
hint!

How many people actually have 8 true friends?

Hardly anyone I know!

But some of us have allright friends and good
friends!!

You will Have Good Luck For Two Years if
you send this to 8 people or more.
