I like the story “Three Roses” by Garth Nix‚ for the reason I feel that it has a great meaning to it. The gardener planting flowers in memory of what reminds him of his wife‚ to not forget what he loved about his wife was very touching to me.

But‚ at the end of the story when the jardinière asked the gardener “why grow them only to have these memories taken
