OLD LADY BROUGHT SON'S FAVORITE PIE TO HIS GRAVE – FOUND NOTE UPON HER RETURN NEXT DAY
For 23 years, Nancy, now 61, never missed a single day on this date. She baked her late son's favorite pie and took it to his grave every year since.
The pie, a simple yet delicious apple and cinnamon creation, had been Henry's favorite since childhood... It was his favorite dessert, and baking it had become a tradition they both cherished.
Since Henry's tragic accident at 17, this ritual had been Nancy's way of keeping his memory alive. Even though the years had passed, her grief remained, only softened by time and the small comfort this tradition brought her.
On this particular day, just like every year before, Nancy carefully carried the freshly baked pie to the graveyard. The familiar sorrow welled inside her, but Nancy wiped her eyes quickly and managed a small smile as she said her quiet goodbye.
The next day, as part of her routine, Nancy made her way back to Henry's grave to clean up. Usually, by the time she returned, the pie was either untouched or spoiled by the weather, a quiet reminder of her son's absence.
But today, as she approached the grave, something felt different. Nancy's heart skipped a beat when she saw that the plate was clean — completely empty!
Then, something else caught her eye. A small, folded piece of paper rested on the plate. Nancy's hands trembled as she reached for it. Slowly, she unfolded the note, her breath hitching in her throat as the words inside came into view.👇
