- Misia, what will you do with the industry? - I asked a guest to my wedding, looking with greedy eyes - Are you going to throw?
- The industry already has owner - and smiled. But I think I got a very sad smile.
For my bouquet was owner and a history behind a little sad. Long ago, some fifteen years ago, I made a promise to someone, which materialized in this field.
- daughter, how lovely, who remembers her grandmother on her wedding day and it takes flowers.
I stayed quiet and the few minutes I said
- Grandma, if ever I get married, my bouquet will be for you.
And there was that. I do not know if she would remember that, because they mention him again, but I stuck with me.
In the beginning of my second year of college after a year or so of pain and evil life, my grandmother died. I started to live alone and continued my life. But much more alone.
The day after the wedding, Sunday, my husband and I went back (sounds bizarre) Rainy City without going home and we passed the cemetery where my grandmother is buried. We arrived just an hour before they closed. When we asked the security guard where we could find an information board or someone you attend:
- Sorry, today is Sunday. No report until tomorrow.
- But there is a panel by date of burial or anything?
- Nah, it's all messy. As people are buried, was dug up, put the streets fried ... If there is no street number and area, forget it. It is a maze. Come to taste, but close to fifty minutes.
I dropped the heart sink. The next day we left the trip early and could not go. I found myself at this cemetery, immense no idea where my grandmother was buried, with the bridal bouquet in his hand and surrounded by thousands of graves spread over vast feis streets and blocks. He had not been there and although I remember isolated details, did not know specifically where was the tomb. I called my mother, my uncle, my aunt and everyone he could remember concrete data. Nothing, all references were aimed at home, miles away from where they were.
was impossible to find, but we made an attempt. Accompanied by my Anomalous, I was going through an endless succession of headstones, looking for a date and a name among thousands. I was desperate and I ended up running with my bouquet in hand in this sad scenario, while the tears fell and I could barely read the names on the graves. Yes, I know: a pathetic scene . And while flagellating themselves mentally, how could I not go before you locate the grave again! How he could be letting down my grandmother that way!
on fifty minutes to finish and had to leave the cemetery, even with the field, without having fulfilled my promise and full of sorrow and remorse. My father called me to tell me not to worry, that they took the field ... but it was not the same. To I was not the same.
I tried to comfort me: tell me that this tomb there is only a few bones and some rotten wood that my grandmother is not that. My parents took the field and ended up fulfilling my promise. That total, the branch did not gave it to anyone and I booked it for her. But ... when I think it gives me a lump in my throat that I was not going even with all the arguments in the world.
