Yes, it's the people who live without hope that suffer the most.
The car drove to the airport, Selina's parents have arrived, not seen for a long time two old people have been gray hair, face piled with wrinkles and vicissitudes, I looked at them, my heart vaguely some heartache, one or two successive blows, white send black hair, two old people have endured most of their lives may not meet the sad.
Seeing Dennis and me, Selina's mother, who had probably cried until her tears dried up, looked at me and pulled a few dry smiles, "Mrs. George, it's too much trouble for you, this kindness of yours, we can't pay it back in this lifetime."
I shook my head slightly and looked at her and said, "Auntie, don't think so much, get in the car!"
Angle's ashes in Selina's father's arms, not good at words, the old man, not a word, just clinging to his granddaughter's urn, I looked at the nose a sore, tears in the eyes.
The car drove toward the fragrant mountain cemetery, two for the elderly do not know how long it is no rest, the face is covered with vicissitudes and fatigue.
I originally thought of taking the two old people to eat something, but look at them, but the heart knows, I'm afraid they can not eat anything, a slight sigh, give up.
Fragrant Hill Cemetery.
This is the largest cemetery in City P. A small plot of a few square meters is worth a thousand dollars. The two old men got out of the car and walked towards the cemetery that had been set.
Dennis and I followed them. Bobby's addiction to gambling had left their family with few relatives, and with Angle's illness, the only people who could send their children here at this time were two gray-haired old men.
The funeral was cold and lonely, there was no endless stream of farewells, no flowers, the only thing there was nothing but the two old men.
I couldn't look away and looked at Dennis and said, "Can you have the funeral home send some of the child's burial goods? One last ride, let the child go happy."
I don't know if there are ghosts and gods in this world, but I know that the two old people have been emptied of everything in order to treat their children, they want to give their children the best, but the reality makes them have to send goodbye with their bare hands.
Dennis nodded his head and turned his voice to make a phone call.
The cemetery staff was registering Angle's burial site, and was slightly surprised to see only two old people, but did not ask, such a parting place, perhaps they have seen too much life and death, seen too much time warm and cold, perhaps used to it.
Not long after, the funeral home people came to the cemetery, the burial process, customs, all the same for the two people to do, Selina's mother some too not to go, has been looking at me want to say something.
I smiled lightly and reassured her, signaling that as long as the child left in peace, she would be fine.
Although only a child's burial ceremony, after tossing, the sky is also getting dark, Selina's father squatting in front of a small tombstone, a vicissitudes of the face fell into a sad.
Selina's mother raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and spoke, "Old man, let's go, let's go home, Angle is with Selina, not alone!"
