Today’s story is about a man who hands over the flowers he intended for his wife’s grave to a crying woman and how she returns his generosity in a kind manner.
Michael and Adele had been happily married for 63 years when a terrible car accident separated them. It was a cold evening, and the couple was driving home from their granddaughter’s birthday party when they were hit by a car coming from the opposite direction.
Michael was lucky enough to have survived the collision, but Adele left for her heavenly abode before she could even get to the hospital.

Michael was devastated after Adele left him, and since that fateful day, he has visited her every weekend. Every Sunday, the elderly man would get up at 8:00 a.m., dress up for a date with his beloved wife, buy her a bouquet of her favorite wildflowers, and walk to the nearest bus stop.

One day, while on the bus on his way to visit his wife, his attention was instantly drawn to a woman who was sobbing uncontrollably. She was in her mid-twenties and she reminded him of his daughter.

Michael noticed her eyes were bright red as she looked up. She appeared upset, and the puffiness under her eyes suggested she had been crying a lot.

The woman, teary-eyed, looked up at him and finally nodded. As Michael took a seat, he noticed she kept staring at the bouquet of flowers in his hands. “Do you like these flowers as well? These are my wife’s favorite flowers. I’m meeting her today!”
Just then, the woman burst out crying once more. Perplexed at her reaction, Michael apologized. “I’m sorry, but did I say something wrong?”
“No, it’s not...
