Old Man Notices New Flowers at Wife’s Grave Every Week, One Day Meets a Crying Little Boy There — Story of the Day

When Derek found fresh flowers at his wife Alice’s grave every week, he assumed it was the work of one of her students because she had worked as a teacher all her life. But one day, he saw a little boy sitting there and discovered the truth his wife had kept hidden for so long.

Alice Miller was 87 years old when she died. She had been married for 58 years to her husband Derek, who was seven years younger than her.
