A Japanese man planted thousands of flowers to cheer up his blind wife.
Sometimes you run across a story that is so touching you have no choice but to share it. Life is short, love is everything, and love like this… well, it’s just really special.
The story goes like this: A Japanese dairy farmer named Mr. Kuroki lived with his wife and two children in rural Japan. One day, his wife suddenly lost her sight due to diabetes complications. She became depressed and withdrawn, spending most of her time indoors. Mr. Kuroki remedied this by spending the next two years planting thousands of flowers so the scent would lure his wife outdoors to cheer her up.

Now the flower garden makes Mrs. Kuroki smile every day, and the private farm draws tourists from everywhere to witness the touching love story. If that story didn’t touch your heart, then you probably don’t have one. It has everything from love to diabetes, capitalism, and artistic imagery. Honestly, this was an entire Hollywood movie plot in 2 paragraphs.
Now go spread some love.
