The meaning of life is that when an opportunity is in front of us, we must seize it. If we miss it, we may regret it for the rest of our lives. Don't wait for the opportunity to come. Many times it is true to the old saying, "If you miss the opportunity, it will never come again!"
Don't wait too long and miss the opportunity
Each spring brings a blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway I travel(定从) daily to work.
Every spring, there are many wild flowers in the channel along the highway where I go to work.
This is one particular blue flower that had always caught my eyes(主从), I've noticed that it blooms only in the morining hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it, Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.

This spring, I started a new wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window whille doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'll stop on way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty." Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year for my trunk(后备箱) to be used for expressed purpose.

One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches(修剪渠道) and the pretty blue flowers were gone(宾从). I thought to my self, "way to go, you waited too long. you should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring(时间状语从句). "

A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sisiter-in-law has a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as well all would have liked, I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
The author makes a sudden change here. Her husband's sister, like these wild flowers, passed away from this world because of a brain tumor. The author also regrets very much. Her sister, like these wild flowers, passed away very unfortunately.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet(笃定) I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

Don't miss the opportunity. Life is like a highway, and all the good possibilities will be fleeting . , don’t wait, just cherish, everything is worth it .
