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. However, God did not bless them with children, and after Derek noticed how fertility treatments were affecting Alice, he told her that they were enough for each other.

“Are you here by yourself? Did you know Alice?” he inquired again, hoping for an answer, but the boy’s response was the same.
Suddenly, Derek heard a woman’s voice behind him. “He might not answer to you, Mr. Miller. Let me try talking to him.”
Derek turned around and saw a woman, somewhat in her late 30s, approaching from the church’s direction...
