The little child could not believe until the end that the father was no longer alive, and did not leave his coffin. When the truth came out, everyone remained stunned.
The little eight-year-old girl stood next to her father’s coffin as if she did not notice those around her. She placed her hands on the edge of the coffin and stared intently inside.
The mother tried several times to take her away, but the girl stubbornly remained in place. She did not cry or speak — she just silently observed.
Guests came, bent down to offer condolences, and left, but the child did not move from her spot. The only thing she asked for was a small chair to be closer to her father.
In the evening, the adults began to worry: the girl did not eat, did not speak, she just sat and watched, as if waiting for something important.
No one noticed when she climbed onto the chair, carefully climbed into the coffin, and lay down next to her father. She wrapped her arm around him and pressed close, as if sensing something. The grandmother, seeing this, screamed, and the adults ran to the coffin.
At first, they thought the girl had fainted, but then they understood the truth: the child wanted to be with her father in his final moments, as if farewell could not be expressed in words but through touch.
The room filled with silence, heavier than any scream. This moment remained forever in the memory of those present as a strange and touching farewell, full of genuine emotions that cannot be put into words.
But that’s not all: during the night, the girl didn’t even leave the coffin. When the mother approached and asked why she wasn’t leaving her father, the child replied that the father was alive and was just sleeping.
The mother said that it was impossible
—Your father is no longer with us, and we are now at his memorial ceremony.
But the girl said a second time something that shook both her mother and everyone present.
The continuation can be seen in the first comment.
The child said that the father had not died and that he had seen him in the morning.
Everyone was in shock — eyes froze, and the mother tried to calm the child, saying it was impossible.
The child remained firm in his belief when the door of the room opened and his father walked in.
—Look, it’s him! — said the child, and everyone froze. The mother approached, touched the man, and made sure it wasn’t a vision — he was a real person.
But after talking, it turned out that this man was not her husband, but her husband’s brother, whom no one knew, because the brothers had never been in contact.
He had simply come to say goodbye to his brother after hearing of his death.
Now everyone understood that the child had not lied — he had really seen the man, but this person was not the one everyone expected.
The day of the child’s father’s death also became the day of another revelation.
The man who appeared in the room became an integral part of their family and began taking care of her in place of the brother.
