I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of 36 my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet 37 .

She smiled and I saw the feeling in her 46 as she placed the package in her basket and 47 away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then 48 the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the 49 smile I had ever seen.
As she came closer, I saw what she held and 50 welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses 51 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my 52 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost 53 . How did she know?
Suddenly the 54 seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't 55 me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.
