My dearest Mollie,
If you’re reading this, I’m no longer there to bring the flowers myself. But I didn’t want silence to be all I left behind.
Every bloom here is a Saturday morning. Every petal is a promise kept.
I loved you until my final breath—and beyond.
Yours always, Thomas.
Grandma pressed the letter to her chest.
“I’m sorry I doubted you,” she whispered.
Now, we visit the garden every Saturday.
We bring tea. Books. Quiet.
Sometimes Grandma brings flowers home and places them in the vase on the table.
“He’s still here,” she says. “In every bloom.”
And she’s right.
Some love fades.
Some love endures.
And some love—like Grandpa’s—never stops blooming.
