A young widow had a poignant ritual – visiting her husband’s grave every week to water the flowers. As she’d leave, she’d always turn her back, never looking back. A young man, who had been observing her, finally approached her one day.
He complimented her on showing such respect to her late husband, particularly noting how she never turned around when leaving. The widow’s response, however, left him speechless.
With a straight face, she revealed that her husband used to tease her about having a behind that could “raise the dead from their graves.” With a sly smile, she added that she didn’t want to take any chances.
The young man was taken aback by her witty response, and the encounter took an unexpectedly humorous turn. This brief exchange not only showcased the widow’s quick wit but also reminded us that even in sorrow, a dash of humor can be a welcome respite.
