Chapter 10, Section 11 The love delivered by Lilac?
A selfless love makes life full of fragrance. ? ?

On the second Sunday in May, Mother's Day came, but Mary was depressed because her parents were 5 miles away in Ohio. ?
That morning, she called her mother to wish her a happy Mother's Day.My mother mentioned that it is spring and the garden at home is colorful.As they talked, the young woman could almost smell the alluring fragrance of lilacs—those flowers that bloomed on a strong lilac tree outside her mother's house. ?
Later, when she told her husband George how much she missed those lilacs, her husband jumped up from his chair and said, "I know where to find what you want, take the children and let's go! "?
So they drove along country roads in northern Rhode Island.On this day, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue, and the surrounding green grass was full of vitality, which made people feel refreshed. Only in mid-May can there be such refreshing weather. ?
Both sides of the road where they parked were covered with dense cedar, cypress and dwarf birch trees, but there was not a single lilac in sight. ?
George said, "Come with me." They were halfway up the mountain when they felt the scent of flowers.The children began to run up the hill excitedly.Immediately afterwards, Mary also ran, and she ran to the top of the mountain in one breath. ?
There, beautiful lilac trees were covered with huge, pinecone-shaped flowers that bent their branches almost to the ground.These flowers enjoy their own peaceful world away from the tourists who travel by car.Mary smiled and ran to the one closest to her, buried her face in the flowers, absorbed the charming fragrance, and reveled in the beautiful memories. ?
Then she began to pick a twig here and a twig there very carefully, and cut the twigs off with the knife.She cut it leisurely and admired it, as if each flower were a rare and exquisite treasure. ?
As they drove back, the children chirped on and on.George drove the car, and Mary sat smiling, surrounded by flowers, looking into the distance, and her heart was full of happiness. ?
Less than 3 miles from home.At this moment, Mary suddenly shouted to her husband: "Stop! Stop right here!"?
George stopped the car.Before he had time to ask, Mary had jumped out of the car and hurried to a nearby hillside covered with weeds, still holding the lilac cluster in her hand. ?
It turned out that there was a sanatorium on the hillside.It was a beautiful spring day, so the patients were out in the sun, walking with relatives or sitting on porches. ?
Mary ran to the end of the porch.There, an old woman was sitting in a wheelchair.She drooped her head and turned her back to the crowd, looking very lonely.The flowers were seen over the porch railing and appeared on the lap of the old woman.Then she looked up and smiled. ?
Mary chatted with her for a while, and both looked radiant.Then Mary turned and ran back to her family. ?
The car moved, and the old woman in the wheelchair waved her hand and waved her bouquet. ?
"Mother," asked the children, "who is she? Why did you give her our flowers? Whose mother is she?"?
Mary said, "I don't know her. But it's Mother's Day, and she's so lonely. Who wouldn't be happy to see flowers? Besides, I have you, and I have my mother—although she is far away from me." .She needs these flowers more than I do."?
The kids get it.However, George's mood could not be calm.The next day, he bought 6 lilac saplings and planted them around the yard.Since then, he has planted many more plants. ?
Now, every May, their yard is filled with the fragrance of lilacs.Every Mother's Day, they will never forget the lonely back of the old lady, and let the smile bloom on her face again on this day. ?
Mind walk?

People living in this world need the comfort of love.Life without love can only be a dead desert.Therefore, learn to give love, so that your heart will be full and your life will be full of fragrance.
