The nearby patch of grass comforted her — a certainty that one day she would rest alongside her love.

She lay the flowers down.

“Goodbye,” she wept.

Wow!

I really hate sad endings, but your story is very beautifully done, poignant, stirring. Outstanding work!

The meaning of minute gestures. It's not easy to accept loss of that kind.

This is a sad and sweet story, @vdux. Nicely done.
