[00:01.33]A Trip To The Supermarket 超市追憶 [00:06.36]I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying anything. [00:12.93]The pain of losing my husband of 37 years was still raw. [00:18.29]And this store held so many sweet memories. [00:22.12]Rudy often came with me and every time he’d pretend to go off [00:27.45]and look for something special. [00:29.12]And I’d then spot him walking back to me with three yellow roses. [00:34.44]Rudy knew I loved them. [00:36.77]The grocery store was different since Rudy had passed on. [00:41.48]Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two. [00:46.51]Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak [00:51.31]and remembered how Rudy had loved his steak. [00:54.61]Suddenly a woman came up beside me. [00:58.11]I watched as she picked up a package of T-bones and dropped them in the basket, [01:03.88]hesitated, and then put them back. [01:07.55]She saw me watching her and smiled.“My husband loves T-bones, [01:12.41]but honestly, at these prices, I don’t know.” [01:16.52]I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her blue eyes. [01:21.22]“My husband passed away eight days ago,”I told her. [01:27.17]Glancing at the package, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. [01:32.12]“Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.” [01:37.56]She shook her head and I saw the emotion in her eyes [01:42.23]as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away. [01:47.72]Ten minutes later, I saw her walking towards me, [01:50.87]carrying a package in her arms. [01:53.52]On her face was the brightest smile I had ever seen. [01:58.00]As she came near, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes. [02:04.57]“These are for you,” [02:06.40]she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. [02:11.64]She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on my check, then smiled again. [02:16.89]I wanted to tell her what she’d done, [02:20.04]what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, [02:24.92]I watched as she walked away, as tears clouded my vision. [02:29.29]I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping [02:34.33]and found it almost unreal. [02:36.97]How did she know? [02:39.59]Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn’t alone. [02:45.50]“Oh, Rudy, you haven’t forgotten me, have you?” [02:50.01]I whispered, with tears in my eyes. [02:52.63]He was still with me, and she was his angel. [02:57.01]Everyday be thankful for what you have and who you are.
