心灵鸡汤 Chicken Soup for the Soul

Rose

Real love lies not in　121　(what/which/that) is done and known, but in　122　(what/which/that) is done but not known.

Red roses were her favorites; her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent her some, 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　123　(what/which/that) this was the last time that the roses would appear.

She thought　124　(what/which/ 不填） he had ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know　125　（what/which/that) he would pass away. He always liked to do things early 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 and then put the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face. She would sit for hours in her husband’s favorite chair, staring at his picture, with the roses sitting there.

A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate, but with loneliness and solitude,　126　(what/which/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　127　(what/which/that/why) someone would do this to her, causing her such pain.

“I know　128　(what/which/不填) 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　129　（what/which/that) you received today were paid for in advance.” “Your husband always planned ahead. He left nothing to chance.”

“There is a standing order　130　(what/which/that) I have on file down here. He has paid well in advance, and you’ll get them every year. There is also another thing　131　(what/which/that) I think you should know. He wrote a special little card…he did this years ago.”

“Then should ever I find out　132　(what/which/that) he’s no longer here, it’s the card　133　(what/which/that) should be sent to you the following year.” She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard. Her fingers were shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card.

Inside the card, she saw　134　(what/which/that) he had written her a note. Then as she stared in total silence, this is　135　(what/which/that) 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　136　(what/which/that/how) I would feel. The love　137　(what/which/that) 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　138　(what/which/how/why) the roses will be sent to you for years.”

“When you get these roses, think of all the happiness　139　(what/which/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　140　(what/which/that) you find some ways. The roses will come every year, and they will only stop when your door’s not answered, or when the florist stops knocking.”

“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.”
