Nothing can be more painful than the untimely death of a loved one. Mother of two, Janet, experienced harrowing grief as she witnessed her husband of 25 years, Thomas, buried and gone.It had been two months since her husband was laid to rest. The wetness on the mound of soil on his grave dried up, but Janet was still drowning in agony and tears.Eric and Brad couldn’t bear to see their mother in so much pain. To comfort her one day, they discussed with her places she would love to visit.
Florence brought out an old photo album and began sharing cute moments of her love story with their late dad, and suddenly burst into tears pointing to one particular picture…
Janet held up a photo of a bridge, tears streaming down her face. “I met your dad here. I wish I could go back and tell him how much I miss him.”
Hearing their mother’s longing, Eric and Brad surprised her with a plane ticket to revisit the cherished place. Janet was overwhelmed but agreed. As she relived memories of her late husband, her sons worked tirelessly back home.
For a week, Eric and Brad spent long hours renovating their house, finishing the repairs their father had started before his passing. They painted, updated furniture, and revamped the kitchen. On Janet’s return, Eric picked her up, hiding his excitement.
At home, Janet gasped. “What happened to my house?”
Her sons revealed their surprise: “We finished what Dad started.” Tears streamed down her face as they led her to her revamped bedroom, where family photos adorned the walls.
That evening, they sat by the fireplace, Janet sharing her trip and how she felt their dad’s presence on the bridge.
“Dad’s always with us,” Eric said, as Brad played a melody on the piano, filling their home with love and cherished memories.
