Mock Funeral: Deep Love Cannot Overcome All Difficulties1
Over Memorial Day weekend, my daughter's dying wish was for her mom, Jane, to attend her staged funeral.
But Jane has no love for me or our girl.
In exchange, I let Jane's high school sweetheart, Winston Yeates, truly have her, just this once.
Jane was all in.
But come funeral day, Jane was nowhere to be found, and by evening, my daughter died heartbroken.
I spent the entire night clutching her urn, finally breaking down and calling Jane for answers.
The moment she picked up, her old flame's voice hit me, "Super busy right now... hit me up later."
I could clearly hear the sound of humping in the background.
She didn't hang up, leaving me to overhear hours of sighs and moans.
I took care of the funeral myself, swallowed my tears, packed up, and walked out.
Yet Jane had the nerve to call back, sobbing, pleading with me to stay.

After I saw everyone leave, I found myself staring at my daughter's tombstone, and I dialed Jane once more.
I needed to know why she skipped out on the funeral.
Why abandon our daughter to hook up with her ex?
Couldn't she have held off her rendezvous, just long enough for our daughter to pass without regrets?
