Despite the fact that love is everywhere around us — in movies, music and books — not everyone meets it in real life. Some people, realizing this sad truth, prefer to settle for little, while others look for the one or the only one all their lives, but remain alone. However, the protagonist of this story was able to become a rare exception to the rule…
Winston Howes and his beloved Jenette have been married for 33 years. All the neighbors were perplexed, looking at their relationship. After all, in all that time they had never once seen this couple quarrel. It really was the perfect loving couple…
But 20 years ago their idyll was cut short — Jeanette passed away suddenly. Winston could not find his place and decided that he had to do something in memory of his spouse.
The man began planting oak trees. All the neighbors thought it was just the man’s way of distracting himself from his grief and forgetting himself a little. No one gave his hobby any importance, but for the time being…
As many as 6,000 plants were planted on a property near Jeanette and Winston’s home.
20 years later a neighbor, flying nearby in a hot air balloon, saw something that stunned him. In the middle of the grove was left room for a huge heart with beautiful daffodils growing inside.
Surely Winston hoped that this heart could be seen by his consort from heaven. And even when the foliage fades, his love remains…
We seem to know everything about love. But confronted with such stories, one begins to understand what this feeling really is. And even the most skeptical, who think there is no such thing as love, will wonder at the results of Winston’s work.
