For Whom Do You Mourn So Deeply?

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.�
