Red rose for my mother!

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: Don’t Send Artificial Loves to your parents. Give them the respect and courtesy they desire. They are your most precious Treasure, Care for them. God Forbid, if they leave this world then one can do nothing but regret.

Various Thoughts On Love

It is wrong to think that love comes from long companionship and persevering courtship. Love is the offspring of spiritual affinity and unless that affinity is created in a moment, it will not be created for years or even generations. Khalil Gibran It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it. Francois de La Rouchefoucauld Love cures people, both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. Dr. Karl Menninger My favourite: Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction. Antoine de Saint-Exupery Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says: “I need you because I love you.” Erich Fromm Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations. Francois de La Rouchefoucauld To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever you’re wrong, admit it; whenever you’re right, shut up. Ogden Nash The course of true love never did run smooth. William Shakespeare Men always want to be a woman’s first love, women like to be a man’s last romance. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
