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, \u201cI wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.\u201d The man smiled and said, \u201cCome on in with me. I\u2019ll buy you a rose.\u201d He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother\u2019s flowers. As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, \u201cYes, please! You can take me to my mother.\u201d 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\u2019s house.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Don&#8217;t wait for occasions and Holidays to spend time with your loved ones.
