The Garden We Share

In a small garden behind the hospital, an old man sits on a wooden bench every morning.

His name is Mr.

Chen, and he likes to watch the flowers open.

A young nurse brings him tea and sits beside him.

She asks, "What are you thinking about today?" Mr.

Chen smiles and points to a tall sunflower.

"My wife loved this garden," he says.

"When she was sick, we came here every day." The nurse listens quietly and holds his hand.

Now Mr.

Chen helps other patients plant seeds.

He tells them, "Life is short, but love grows like these flowers." Together, they water the plants and share stories under the warm sun.
