Flowers form my dad who passed away
Submitted by: Sophia Casavant
Chateauguay, Quebec, CanadaI'm an ordinary girl, who has been adopted by two persons in Quebec. I'm from Guatemala, born from a mother of 18 years old who wasn't able to take care of me. I have been one of the luckiest person on earth for sure.
First, I would like to say that English is not my first language but here is my story.
I was 14 years old when my dad died from a heart attack, when were on our way back to home. In one moment my life changed drastically. I lost hope for a big part of my life after that, I lost my faith in life. I didn’t understand what I did wrong in my life to feel so much pain, to lose someone that I loved so much.
When he was alive my dad always bought flowers for my mom and I, on Valentine’s day.
Red roses for my mom and an other colour of roses for me. Always!
So the day before Valentines day, I was crying, and I asked my dad to send me a message. To be honest I never believed in God or anything, I was a skeptic. My mom and dad always told me that Love never dies. So I asked, my dad to send me proof that love never dies. I didn’t asked for a specific thing I just asked for a sign that I would be sure that it was from “him”.
I had waited all day long for that sign, and nothing. I was so sad, and about to lose my faith in love. I was watching a movie with my mom, when someone knocked at the door. It was 8:30 pm on Valentine’s day.
When I open the door, I saw Marie our neighbour and she had Red roses for my mom and Pink roses for me.
I couldn’t believe it, but I wasn’t sure at the time, if it was a sign or not, I was such a skeptic.
One year later, my mom asked her why she thought about us on Valentine’s day. She told my mom, “I don’t know, I woke up that day and I knew I had to do this”.
I am 21 now and I read The Secret for the first time this year because I wanted to know why my father liked this book so much.
I remember that my dad used to read The Secret when he was alive and told me that it worked. I was 13 or 14 when he told me.
One thing is for sure, love is way more powerful than we know, and more importantly, it never dies.
When I finished the book The Power, I realized that Love can’t die and I had received the proof. The love you have for someone, even if they died is still there. I did use The Secret without knowing that I used it.
Now, The Secret is a daily part of my life. I am so grateful for everything I have received. Thank you, so much for everything!
