Losing a child is one of life’s greatest tragedies. Parents of service members stationed overseas naturally worry about their children’s well-being on a daily basis.
Joseph Villasenor served in the U.S. Air Force as a Staff Sergeant and was patriotic.
This courageous guy served his country for 16 years before his untimely death at the age of 36. His parents, Raymond and Rachel Villasenor, were upset.
To them, their son’s disappearance seemed unfathomable. It was really difficult to handle the pain. They talked about the mysterious incident that happened soon after their son’s untimely demise.
While they were paying their respects at Garden Park Cemetery in Arlington, Texas, they saw something odd: a line of lush grass stretched from their son’s tomb to the surrounding area.
They can’t figure out what the real motivation is.
They didn’t know that their daughter had met an old man named Jake Reissig by chance a few months earlier.
While delivering flowers to his late wife’s grave in the cemetery, Jake noticed Joseph’s sister sobbing.
As he got closer, he had to ask her what was wrong.
The entire family was devastated when she told them of her brother’s recent passing. Even though he couldn’t make everything better, Jake could still take some action to express his care.
He intended to deliver flowers at Joseph’s tomb. He irrigated the lawn every day as well.
When Rachel and her husband Raymond visited the cemetery of their son, they noticed that it was adorned with flowers. They were greatly cheered by the sight. However, they were unable to determine who should get gratitude for the thoughtful gesture.
Eventually, they discovered that Jake was in charge of keeping up the grave marker.
Jake’s act of goodwill moved them to tears. They couldn’t even put into words how appreciative they were of this elderly man.
When things go tough, you need someone to show you they care. The world is a better place because of you and others like you, Jake. Many thanks.
