Eternal Rose

Rose loves to receive roses, that's why her husband will buy her a bouquet of roses during every year's Valentine's Day.

Rose's husband passed away one day and Rose fell into depression thinking she will not be receiving roses from his husband anymore.

Surprisingly, the following year's Valentine's Day she continued to receive roses. As always the card would read:

My love for you would grow with every single day. Would you still be my valentine?

Rose wasn't surprised with receiving the bouquet knowing that her husband was someone who always planned ahead.

During the days after Rose lost her husband, she would sit in his favorite chair and recall their fond memories. On the Valentine's Day one year after, Rose's husband passed away, she sit in that same chair as always.

Suddenly, the door bell rang and to her surprise a man from the florist holding a bouquet of roses. She signed over the bouquet, still in disbelief. She slowly walked back to the chair thinking that this must be some sort of joke.

So, she picked up the phone and called the florist.

Florist:Hi Rose, we expected that you would call. The bouquet that was delivered to you is from your husband. He has instructed us to send a bouquet to you every Valentine's Day. He had already paid the money in advance. He also left us a special card, which should he pass away, we will deliver it to you together with the roses.

Rose couldn't control her tears as she put down the phone. She reached for the card that was placed nicely at the heart of the bouquet and sat back into the chair to read it.

It has been one year since I left you, how are you my dear wife? I know how much you love roses that's why I had made such an arrangement with the florist. Let these roses remind you of the happy memories we had together. I hope that at the same time you can move on and not remain in the shadow of my death. The florist will continue to deliver the roses to you every Valentine's Day as long as you answer the door. The florist will come for up to 5 times on the day in case you are not at home. After 5 times, the florist will know that the roses will no longer be required to be delivered anymore.

As that is when we meet again......
