The loss of a child is one of life’s greatest sufferings. Parents of service members stationed overseas understandably worry about their children’s well-being on a daily basis.
Joseph Villasenor, a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force, had an unwavering devotion to his nation.
They have no way of knowing the true motivation.
Jake was in the cemetery delivering flowers to his late wife’s grave when he came across Joseph’s sobbing sister.
As he got closer, he had to ask her what was wrong…
She shared the sad news that her brother had passed away recently, leaving the entire family in mourning. Even though Jake couldn’t make everything better, he could still do something to express how much he cared.
Rachel and her husband Raymond went to visit their son’s grave and saw that it was covered in flowers. The sight cheered them up considerably. Yet they couldn’t figure out who should be thanked for the kind act.
They were brought to tears by Jake’s act of kindness. They were so grateful to this old man that they couldn’t even express it in words.
When life gets rough, that’s when you need someone to show you they care. Thank you so much, Jake; the world is a better place because of you and those like you.
