Because of my job, I travel regularly for work. Fortunately, my trips rarely last longer than a week. Throughout the years, my wife, Jane, has always been supportive of my schedule. She never complained about the time apart and was always there to welcome me home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every time I left, she would stand on the front porch and wave goodbye. Every time I returned, she would be waiting there again, smiling and waving me back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This trip seemed no different\u2014at least at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I pulled into the driveway after several days away, something immediately caught my attention. Jane wasn’t standing outside waiting for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, our front porch was covered with flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not just a few bouquets, but dozens of them. Roses and arrangements filled nearly every available space, creating a display that looked more like a special event than an ordinary day at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confused, I walked toward the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just then, Jane opened the front door to greet me. Before stepping outside, she suddenly stopped and stared at the flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her expression changed instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBabe, what did you do?\u201d she asked, sounding both impressed and genuinely puzzled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reaction seemed completely authentic, as though she was seeing the flowers for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn’t send them,\u201d I replied. \u201cAny idea who your secret admirer might be?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My comment was meant as a joke, though I couldn’t hide a bit of curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jane immediately began offering different theories about where the flowers might have come from. As she talked, my attention shifted to something tucked inside one of the bouquets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A small white note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without interrupting her, I bent down, picked it up, and carefully unfolded it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What I read next brought tears to my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The note contained only three short sentences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
