During my grandmother’s funeral, I noticed my mother secretly put something into the coffin — and I was horrified when I found out what it was… The church was silent. Only the priest quietly read a prayer, while a distant relative sobbed softly against the wall.Grandma lay there with a white scarf on her head, peaceful, as if she had simply fallen asleep after a long life.

— Mom, I saw you put something in Grandma’s coffin… what was it?
She stayed silent for a long time, then sighed and spoke softly… Her answer left me stunned— It was her wedding ring… not your grandfather’s.
I looked at her in surprise.— When she was very young, she had a fiancé. His name was Nikolai. He went into the army and never came back — he was killed. And the ring he gave her, she kept for her entire life. Even when she married your grandfather, she could never throw it away. Once she told me: “If he’s waiting for me somewhere up there, I want him to recognize me by the ring.” She always loved only him.
My mother wiped away her tears and added:
— I think they’re together again now.
