On the fourteenth anniversary of his mother’s death, the strapping young lad asked his adopted mother to take him to his biological mother’s grave. Once there, he asked her to wait while he went to pry. The lad stood beside the grave with bowed head, weeping. Then he began to disrobe.
With his adopted mother watching, the boy took off his warm clothing, piece by piece, and laid them upon his mother’s grave. Surely he won’t take off all his clothes, the woman who’d raise him thought. He’ll freeze! But the lad stripped himself of everything, putting it all on the grave. He knelt naked and shivering in the freezing snow. And cried out to the mother he never knew. “Were you colder than this for me, my mother?” As he wept bitterly.
