24、   It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs playing, and I was looking out of the window and saw my father moving around the front garden. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.

He looked up, smiling, “I’m making you a surprise.” Dad didn’t say more. And caught up in the busyness of our new life, I forgot about his surprise totally after a long time.

One day in the following March, I looked out and noticed that there was still some snow littering the garden. Would winter ever end?

And yet … was it a miracle (幻想)? I saw something pink in the snow. To find out what it was, I put on my coat and headed outside for a closer look.

There, bravely waving in the wind, were crocuses (番红花). They were throughout the front garden, with different colors like blue, yellow and my favorite pink.

“It’s Dad,” I smiled, remembering the seeds he had secretly planted last autumn. My eyes were filled with tears. He knew how the darkness and dreariness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely and more suitable for my needs? How happy I was, not only for the flowers but also for my father.

My father’s crocuses came out each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same belief (信念) every time they arrived: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The crocuses were in flower for only several days each year, but they built my belief for a lifetime.
