This Couple Is Shocked To Find Their Son’s Grave Green Like It Was Spring, But The Whole Of Texas Was Suffering From Drought
The Rose
We all have different coping mechanisms and it just really isn’t an easy process when you have to deal with the aftermath of a loss all by yourself and at such an old age. But Jake goes above and beyond for the love of his life even after death.
Nobody knew why he did this every single day. He would go about his day but as soon as the afternoon comes, he brings with him a single rose everytime to the cemetery and lays it on his wife’s headstone. He even goes out of his way to water the area around the headstone and make sure the grass stays nice and green.
Gentleman’s Promise
Jake kept this routine up every day never missing out on a day where he would go visit his wife’s grave. The rest of his family would ask him why. Sometimes, he would smile and at times he would say he just felt like it. But when one of his sons asked, he told him the truth.
When Betty was alive, even before they got married, he promised her that he would give her roses everyday and so he did. When they got married, he still made sure to offer her a rose regardless if there was any occasion or none at all. He was devoted to her and he refused to give up on that routine even though Betty has passed away.
