The season of spring is a time for renewal and to enjoy the very good weather, but for most people, it is a time to fall in love; and that kind of thing had happened to a guy named Richard. Richard's wife had passed away seven years ago, and although he has since moved on, from time to time Richard would grieve the loss of his wife and the wonderful love that the two have had.
Richard would then recall the times when he and his wife first met: At middle school when they were little kids, but at the time they were just good friends. By the time they became teenagers, Richard and the love of his life were seeing a little bit more of each other. Even one springtime when she and Richard both reached for and touched the spring flower that either both were going to pick and either would give that flower to either of them.
Instead, Richard and his love would share the flower with each other, and would both admire it together.
As time went on, Richard and his love would go to separate colleges, but they both promised to write to one another; and then, after graduation, the couple saw each other again, and their love would only grow.
A few days later, Richard and the love of his life celebrated the anniversary of their relationship; while sitting together at a restaurant, Richard said to his love, “I am so very happy and grateful to have you in my life…you are the one true woman I could ever care for in such a great while. And now, my love, I would very much like for you to spend the rest of your life with me.”
Then Richard got down on his knees and proposed to the love of his life; a year later, they finally got married, with just his family and closest friends in attendance. As the newlywed couple took their picture, although no one noticed, Richard and his wife were both holding the bridal bouquet together.
And now, time has passed, and Richard's wife has since passed away all of those years ago; Now Richard knows that he must move on, but he then knows that someday he will find a brand-new love, one who could always hold the spring flower together with him.
