Her Plan Was Thwarted
When I was little, I went to a funeral for a man who had been killed during a home invasion. My family knew the guy relatively well since my dad was on his bowling team. During the funeral, we sat in the balcony area of the church right above the guy’s widow and his five kids.
As the funeral progressed, the dead guy’s daughter, who was about 12 years old at the time, started to cry, as did her younger brother who was seven.
Their mother, who was decked out in the typical grieving widow outfit, reached over and smacked both of them across the face and told them to stop crying. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I told my mom what happened and she said she saw it as well.
I may have been young, but I knew something was wrong. As it turns out, the “grieving widow” killed her husband and intended on taking out her kids too, all to be with her new lover. But, the house didn’t go up in flames like she hoped, so her kids survived and her new hopes and dreams disappeared.
