Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (沟渠)along the highway. I travel daily to work. There is one particular 26 flower that has 27 caught my eyes. I’ve noticed it blooms only in the morning hours; the 28 sun is too warm for it. Every day for about two weeks. I see those beautiful 29 .
This spring I 30 a wildflower garden in our yard. “I can look out of the 31 window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought those lovely blue flowers from the 32 would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I 33 past the flowers thinking, I’ll stop on my way home and 34 them.” “gee (哎呀), I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” whatever the reason, I 35 stopped to dig them.
One day on my way home from work in my car, I was 36 to see the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were 37 . I thought to myself, “You 38 too long. You should have done it when you first saw them 39 this spring. ”
A week ago, we were shocked and saddened to learn my older sister-in-law had a terminal brain tumor (肿块). She is 10 years 40 than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance. We haven’t been as 41 as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the 42 between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s 43 and us. I do believe god has given us some time left to 44 some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, I’ll 45 and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
