My mother told me something that would alter my course in life when someone tossed away her flowers.
Laura was interested and at peace when she visited her mother’s cemetery each week. Why did the flowers she placed on her mother’s grave keep vanishing?
Laura was desperate to find out what happened, so one day she arrived early to apprehend the perpetrator.
She was taken aback when a woman revealed to her the startling fact that, although she was born of a different father, she was Laura’s sister. Laura’s perspective on her mother’s life and their connection were altered by this knowledge.
Laura found it difficult to embrace this new knowledge. She realized that she and her sister Casey had suffered because of her mother’s deception. Laura made the choice to be understanding and nice rather than irate.
The sisters began exchanging stories, laughs, and tears with one another. After a while, they began to visit the cemetery together and offer flowers as a token of their affection and remembrance.
Laura gained insight into the value of maintaining relationships with real people, giving second opportunities, and forgiving others.
As they stood at the cemetery together, Laura felt at ease. She was confident that their mother would be pleased with them as they progressed toward healing and reconciliation.
