Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.
He died suddenly one October day, My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.
Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed.
“You've got the winter depression again and you get them every year.”I told myself.
It was Dad's birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual—my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived with his faith.
Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.
Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway.
I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.
【语篇解读】 父爱像美丽的番红花驱走了寒冬的阴霾,激发了我坚强乐观的人生态度。
