A septuagenarian from California, who lost her husband in October 2017, reportedly continues to receive flowers every year from the love of her life, left on her doorstep for Valentine’s Day.
“Whatever magic operates in this world, (my father) has arranged so that every year, a bouquet of flowers from him will appear at his door. When those flowers arrive, you should see the smile on her face. It’s just incredible (…) She knows he’s there with her,” the couple’s daughter, Marilee Heard, told ABC7 California on Wednesday.
Every year for Valentine’s Day, Diana Maver, 77, would impatiently wait for the hello from her husband, John, who died more than seven years ago from cancer, after 47 years of marriage.
The couple met in high school at the age of 16, and their love story blossomed until October 2017, when the father of three allegedly lost his life, leaving his sweetheart behind.
But to her great surprise, only a few months later for Valentine’s Day in 2018, the woman would have received on her doorstep, in Danville, a bouquet of roses and white lilies, addressed to her from her late husband. Since then, the new tradition has been repeated, and this year was no exception.
“These flowers represented our love for each other (…) It touches me so much. I wish (this kind of love) for everyone,” the moved septuagenarian told ABC7.
Every year, the bouquet is accompanied by the same card, on which it is written: “I only have one heart and it’s you. You will always be my Valentine. I love you Diana. Love, John.
“He made it happen every year – I guess – for the rest of his life,” his daughter added. Love can exist through life and death. My father is the ultimate romantic.”
