In early May, visitors to the town cemetery began to notice a young boy—no more than ten—who appeared every day without fail. He would go to the same grave, sit quietly beside the headstone, and then, with a trembling voice, cry out to the sky:
“She’s not here! She’s still alive!”
People pitied him. They assumed he was simply heartbroken, refusing to accept his mother’s passing. Surely, they thought, with time he would come to terms with her death.
Personalized funeral arrangements
But days turned into weeks. Rain or shine, the boy returned. Always the same grave. Always the same cries.
