When I Grow Old

I have a story about an old man roaming around the neighborhood stealing and cutting flowers without hesitations no matter who it belongs to. He just keep on doing it with all his glory that even the children were asking why he do it. He just tell everybody not to worry for time will come it will grow back and bloom again. He passed by a flower stand and steal some..he came across a man holding a bouquet of flowers and tricked the man by asking about the coming bus' destination and when the man turned his head towards the direction the old man is pointing, he stole a stem of beautiful sunflower. He went across a  restaurant which has an ornamental plant with beautiful flowers blooming and he cut one. Whichever way he passes by, he always try to get even just a single bud of flower and put it inside his paper bag. And when his bag is filled with it, he then go straight forward to his destination. To my amazement, I was really shocked to find out that he went to a hospital for the old people where his wife is confined and was been bedridden for quite a while. His wife was sleeping when he arrived. He then filled the room with the flowers he had been stealing all along. He put them on the walls, the door, the ceiling and some on the table. And the most and touching part of it is when he put some of the remaining most scented flowers on the chest of his sleeping wife and gently kiss her on the forehead and silently went back to their home leaving his wife in the hospital sleeping. When his wife awake, she was amazed with the beautiful sight she saw. She felt happy and was touched. She then realized that whatever happens, her husband loves her so much even until the end days of their lives. She showered herself with the flowers playfully, so happy that tears just flowed down from her eyes unnoticed. Her heart was filled with joy that nothing can ever fill it with any other things. The day after, the wife died and the old man (husband) was so lonely that he can't stop crying. He stared at coffin of his wife and said, "I should have stayed by your side yesterday when I brought you the flowers..."
