Loving Husband Spends 2 Years Planting Thousands Of Flowers For His Blind Wife To Smell

ADVERTISEMENT

Mr. and Mrs. Kuroki lived a happy life as dairy farmers in rural Japan, raising two lovely children. But tragedy struck when Mrs. Kuroki suddenly lost her sight due to complications from diabetes. Soon, their married life became bitter as she got more and more depressed and withdrawn, secluding herself in the family home.

Mr. Kuroki struggled to find a way to cheer his one true love when a beautiful idea occurred to him: he decided to plant a beautiful flower garden where she could enjoy their smell, enticing her to go outside. Two years of hard work and thousands of blooming flowers later, the private farm now draws people who want to see this real love story from all around the world.

And if our word is not enough – check the photos of the cute couple and their blossoming love below.

Could've taken her to a flower shop and pretended he did all this, she probably wouldn't see it as a problem if she found out, it' the intention that counts

What is the scent of love? It is the smell of a flower, planted for a blind lover. *************************

Sorry for not joining this party. If this couple were dairy farmers, they were most likely animal abusers in the worst form. To get milk from a cow you need to steal the milk from her. You need to steal her calf from her. If he is a boy, you send him to slaughter. If she is a girl, she will be raped and abused like her mother until her body will collapse at the early age of 4 from depleted minerals etc. Karma got these couple. Eating animals, milk, eggs etc. is poison to our body. Diabetes is directly linked to consuming animals as food. So while he did a very nice thing for his wife, this is nothing but ugly speciesism.
