We were a happy garden. I am the oldest of 22 young tulips. We live with our loving mother and father. They loved us and each other. It was perfect.
Father was a business flower. He was the CEO president of a window company. Mother never liked working in an office with lots of other flowers. She likes to go outside and do yard work. It was always her passion. Whatever challenge some one gave her, she turned it into a masterpiece.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mother usually did all the cooking ,cleaning , and shopping, but one day father said he was going to the market. We were all a little surprised, but we didn't think much of it. Some of my younger brothers wanted to come with him and he said no. That was another surprise. Is he really going to the market at this time? Why won't he let the sproutlings go? Did he have a bad day at work? Were the only things we were thinking. But no one stopped him. I would grow to regret that decision the rest of my life. Because, he never came back.

 Because, he never came back
