A man placed some flowers on the
grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his
car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a
grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and
kept repeating, "Why did you have to die? Why did you have
to die?"
The first man approached him and said, "Sir, I don't wish to
interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain
is more than I've ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so
deeply? A child? A parent?" The mourner took a moment to
collect himself, then replied, "My wife's first
husband."
