Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I
missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He
died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.
On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. 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 up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into
our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small 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 ago, one that hadn't bloomed in
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.
