Grief never leaves you; memories keep loved ones close to your heart . Quote by poet. John and his young wife Maria had been apart for a year now, but every week he'd drive across town just to speak with her. On the passenger seat was a white rose, Maria’s favourite flower. Their garden was adorned with them; they resembled a carpet of snow, and in a gentle breeze in summertime you could smell their sweet scent. He passed the sandy beach and remembered the walks they used to do, and the time when he got down on his knee and asked her to marry him. She answered straight away, and tears of joy streamed down her face. He'd always tear up when he remembered when she said "Yes, yes, yes". That was three years ago but now it seemed like it was only yesterday. They'd often talk of starting a family and were in the process of moving to a bigger house, but sadly it wasn't to be, and John decided to stay. He slowed down and drove down the fir tree lined avenue and parked up. Then he got out and picking up the rose placed it carefully on her headstone.
