I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was
8、one pink crocus. How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadnt bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
