Thank You

"Good morning, Yuki!" said Tohru with a smile. "Good morning Miss Honda," said Yuki with a yawn. "I'm finished!" Tohru said with a sigh relief from all her laundry work. "Miss Honda?" "Yes Yuki?" "Well I was thinking, if you could help me at the secret base today?" said Yuki with a weak grin. "Oh, that would be fun! I'll be there, Yuki!" said Tohru with a an exciting expression. "Great," said Yuki. "Oh mom, Yuki does care, I can't wait 'till I go to the secret base with Yuki!" Tohru said to her mother's spirit. "Well, I can't just sit here, let's go!" As Tohru finished her lunch, Yuki came and said it was time for going to the secret base. Tohru knew that the secret base was just a garden full of leeks and vegetables, but it meant a lot to her. As they both approached the secret base, Yuki had planted some flowers that Tohru liked. "Oh look at those flowers! I love them, there my favorite!" said Tohru with a jumpy spirit. "I know, that's why I planted them, for you." said Yuki with a gentle smile. Tohru thought to herself, "Oh mom, this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me! The flowers reminded me of when I brought you the flowers to put in you grave, that's why I love them so much." said Tohru with tears in her eyes. "Here, I'll pick them for you." said Yuki. As Yuki cut and gave Tohru the flowers, she adored them! Yuki couldn't stop smiling for Tohru. "Oh Yuki, these flowers remind me of the time I took these to my mother's grave. She's so happy right now. Thank you." said Tohru with a big smile on her face. "I'll always be there for you whenever your alone, Tohru." said Yuki with a compassionate voice.
