Elderly Man Meets Unfamiliar Lady at Wife’s Grave, ‘I Called Her Mommy’ She Says – Story of the Day

A childless and lonely elderly man visits his wife’s grave daily, bringing her flowers and sitting beside her for hours. One day, he happens to meet an unfamiliar young lady there who calls his wife “Mommy,” and he is startled, to say the least.

Albert placed his late wife’s favorite lilies against her gravestone and gently ran his fingers on the name engraved on it.

“In Memory of Carol… Beloved wife of Albert.”

“How are you doing, darling?” Albert asked her as he sat down on the prickly grass. “Isn’t the weather lovely today?”

In the sodium gleam of the sun on the slightly chilly morning, Albert was visiting his wife, Carol, again to spend some time with her. He had been doing that for as long as he could remember.

That day, Albert spent the whole morning and afternoon with Carol before leaving her with the promise that he’d revisit her the next day. When he turned around to look at her after walking a short distance away from her, he noticed a young woman approaching Carol’s grave. His heart skipped a beat when he heard her say, “Mommy….”

Albert and Carol’s love story had been a simple yet romantic one. They had married barefoot on a beach and hadn’t told their families about it until they spent a passionate night together at a hotel in Georgia.

Carol threw herself into work, spending time with the children around her and finding solace in the fact that she still had kids loving her. But things were hard for Albert, who was hurt that they didn’t have any children of their own.

Years passed. Carol and Albert grew older and somehow got over the grief of being childless. When Carol retired, she expected her students would visit her as she had been a devoted teacher. But that didn’t happen.

Carol’s students eventually forgot her, which hurt her, and soon after, she was bedridden, counting how many days she had left.

Carol was diagnosed with cancer and died in Albert’s arms.

After she left for her heavenly home, a strange loneliness and sadness gripped Albert’s heart.

Nobody around him believed he was the same Albert who once used to be a cheery man.

Albert became fragile and weaker day by day, and he only left the house when...
