Pillars of Strength



Their eyes met each other's after a long gap of several months...or was it years?? 

He didn't remember. 

Dave and Matt hadn't been speaking to each other for a while. But today, they stood beside each other, becoming pillars of strength, supporting each other through their loss.

As the coffin lowered into the grave, a tear rolled down Dave's eye. As if Matt had read his mind, he hugged Dave tight. All through her final days, Matt's mother had tried to unite him with his dad.Yesterday she had breathed her last. He could not forget her whispered words. 

It was Matt's turn now to fulfill her last wish.

So, after the funeral, he drove his dad down to the cliff overlooking the ocean. They had spent many of his childhood days together here. He held his hand as they walked, never to leave it, ever again!!!
