Gray clouds blanketed the sky. Bare trees and brown grass replaced the green manicured lawn.
A mother stood by her son's grave, remembering better days. Tears rolled down her cheek. She spoke aloud as if he was by her side.
"Everything's wrong, Michael. I can't do this anymore. Your sisters expect me to have the answers. I've lost my job. Your dad is very sick and can't work. I'm afraid. No one understands."
The clouds parted. The sun peeked through the hole. Looking upward, she smiled.
"Thank you for listening." A bit of heaven filled her heart giving her strength.
