During my grandmother\u2019s funeral, I noticed my mother secretly put something into the coffin \u2014 and I was horrified when I found out what it was\u2026 \ud83d\ude22\ud83d\ude32<\/p>\n\n\n

The church was silent. Only the priest quietly read a prayer, while a distant relative sobbed softly against the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandma lay there with a white scarf on her head, peaceful, as if she had simply fallen asleep after a long life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked at her face and couldn\u2019t believe I would never again hear her laughter or see her pour tea into her favorite glasses with metal holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother stood beside me, tense and rigid, as if she was afraid to cry. When the time came to say goodbye, she slowly stepped toward the coffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I thought she just wanted to touch Grandma\u2019s hand or whisper something to her one last time. But then I saw her glance around cautiously, take something out of her pocket, and \u2014 with an almost invisible movement \u2014 place it inside.<\/p>\n\n\n

I noticed it was a small black pouch. I wanted to ask what it was, but I didn\u2019t \u2014 it wasn\u2019t the right time or place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the funeral, when we came home, I couldn\u2019t hold back anymore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mom, I saw you put something in Grandma\u2019s coffin\u2026 what was it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stayed silent for a long time, then sighed and spoke softly\u2026 Her answer left me stunned \ud83d\ude22\ud83d\ude31 Continued in the first comment \ud83d\udc47\ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 It was her wedding ring\u2026 not your grandfather\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked at her in surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u2014 When she was very young, she had a fianc\u00e9. His name was Nikolai. He went into the army and never came back \u2014 he was killed. And the ring he gave her, she kept for her entire life. Even when she married your grandfather, she could never throw it away. Once she told me: \u201cIf he\u2019s waiting for me somewhere up there, I want him to recognize me by the ring.\u201d She always loved only him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother wiped away her tears and added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 I think they\u2019re together again now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
