A Forgotten Love
Conversation with Grandson
“Does granny get these every day?” 8-year-old Zach curiously asked, with his eyes still stuck on the vibrant petals.
“Once, she asked me to get flowers on her birthday. I brought her a bouquet every day since then. 30 years have passed, there’s not a single day I missed.” my face gleamed in pride.

“Granny has got not just the flowers but a lovely grandpa!” Zach cheered.
A delightful love story, yes. I had to work on it my entire life, especially when one had long forgotten his wife’s birthday.
