Losing a child is one of the most heartbreaking trials a person can go through.
Parents whose children are soldiers abroad live in constant anxiety.
The hero of our story was named Joseph.
He was a sergeant major and had served in the Air Force for 16 years.
Throughout his service, he demonstrated a total commitment to his country.
He passed away at the age of 36 while performing his duty.
His parents were completely devastated by the loss of their son.
A few months after his death, they began noticing fresh flowers on his grave.
They had no idea who was leaving them, as they had no close relatives and no one, except for them, ever visited his grave.
One day, when they returned to Joseph’s grave, a small piece of paper wrapped around a flower’s stem caught their attention.
Curious, they gently unrolled it.
It read: “I promise you that your sacrifice has not been forgotten.”
The parents, filled with emotion and curiosity, had no idea who the author could be.
