The mourner

A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly parted mother and started back toward his
car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave.

The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, "Why did u have to die?
Why did you have to die?"

The first man approached him and said, "Sir, I don't wish to interfere with your private grief,
but this demonstration of pain in is more than I've ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so
deeply? A child? A parent?"

The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied "My wife's first husband."
