A man stopped at a flower shop to order
some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb
sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a
red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose
costs two dollars.”
The man smiled
and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the
little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers. As they were
leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can
take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed
the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The
man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a
bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.
Moral: Life is Short. Spend much time as you can loving and caring
people who love you. Enjoy each moment with them before it’s too late.
There is nothing important than family.
