Red roses were her favourites, 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 work out 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 favourite 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 the 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 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.”

Look around you at the gifts of God, the clear sky, the pure air, the tender grass, the birds; nature is beautiful and sinless, and we, only we, are godless and foolish, and we don’t understand that life is a paradise, for we have only to understand that and it will at once be fulfilled in all its beauty, we shall embrace each other and weep.

“Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.”
-Alexander Smith

“We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.”
Luciano de Crescenzo

Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.

From the laughter of a child to the tears of a grown man
There’s a thread that runs right through us all and helps us understand
As subtle as a breeze – that fans a flicker to a flame
From the very first sweet melody to the very last refrain…
Let’s talk about love

“True love never dies for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away.”
Alicia Barnhart

Space has been a total mystery for ages. Man used to look at the sky and imagine gods and wonder what sort of miracles stand behind those clouds, out in the blue.
Not very long ago in history, humans managed to make spectacular breakthroughs, land on the Moon and explore the outer space like no time before!

Some have seen real pictures of it, some only imagine space from the descriptions they hear. But for those who dare more, we have gathered here 40 Stunning Outer Space Scenes, which put the rich and creative imagination of some of the best CG designers into real mind blowing images. Let’s take a trip above the limits!
Thank you Julien for putting this video together!

1. I don’t know what the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.

2. Guns don’t kill people — people do.

3. The only time you run out of chances is when you stop taking them.

4. The best things in life are not things.

5. The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.

6. Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up!

7. Empty cans make the most noise.

8. Just because someone doesn’t speak a lot doesn’t mean he’s shy, “Still water runs deep”.

9. All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.

10. If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little shall be much.

11. A shot glass of desire is greater than a pitcher of talent.

12. If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will avoid one hundred days of sorrow.

13. Middle age is youth without levity, and age without decay.

14. Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.

15. Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

16. Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

17. Most people struggle with life balance simply because they haven’t paid the price to decide what is really important to them.

18. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
