A YEAR AFTER MY SON'S DEATH, I SAW MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW'S GRAVE AT THE CEMETERY
"Ma'am… we've arrived," the cabbie said as he pulled over at the cemetery gate, jolting me out of my thoughts.
I stepped out of the cab, my gaze fixed on the cemetery gate and turned to the driver. "Please wait for me here... I won't be long." With a deep, painful sigh, I entered the graveyard, the flowers trembling in my hand.
The silence of the cemetery was haunting as I carefully made my way across the row of graves, searching for Christopher's resting place. A wave of painful emotions washed over me as I approached his grave and knelt down, gently laying the flowers on the ground.
"My baby… Oh, Christopher. Mama's here… I've come to see you…" I broke into tears as I gently brushed my trembling hands against Christopher's tombstone. But then, something caught my eye — another grave, right beside Christopher's.
A surge of disbelief gripped me as I read the epitaph etched on the headstone next to his. I could not believe my eyes: "In Loving Memory of Harper. S."👇
