It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and John
usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too tired. He
was in a small town just outside of Little Rock when he drove by a flower shop.
He said to himself. “I know what I will do, I’ll send Mom some roses.”
He went into the small shop
and saw a young boy talking to the clerk. “How many roses can I get for six
dollars, ma’am?” The boy asked. The clerk was trying to explain that roses were
expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with carnations.
“No. I have to have roses,” he
said. “My Mom was sick so much last year and I didn’t get to spend much time
with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because
that’s her favourite.”
The clerk looked up at John and was just
shaking her head. Something inside of John was touched by the boy’s voice. He
wanted to get those roses so bad. John had been blessed in his business, and he
looked at the clerk and silently mouthed that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The clerk looked at the young man and said,
“Okay, I will give you a dozen red roses for your six dollars.” The young man
almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran from the store. It was
worth the extra thirty-five dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
John ordered his own flowers and had the
clerk to be sure that delivery would include a note telling his mother how much
he loved her. As he drove away from the shop, he was feeling very good. He
caught a light about two blocks from the shop. As he waited at the light, he
saw the young boy walking down the sidewalk. He watched him cross the street
and enter a park through two huge gates. Suddenly, he realized it wasn't a
park. It was a cemetery(墓地). He saw the young man stop by a small monument and go to his
knees. He carefully laid the roses on the grave and began to cry.
As he cried, John heard the young man
speak, “Mommy, oh Mommy, why didn’t I tell you how much I love you. Why didn’t
I tell you one more time? Jesus, please, find my Mommy. Tell my Mommy I love
her."
John turned, tears in his eyes, and walked
back to his car. He drove quickly to the flower shop and told her he would take
the flowers personally. He wanted to be sure and tell his Mother one more time
just how much he loved her.
