At My Husband’s Funeral, a Teenage Boy I Had Never Seen Before Walked up to Me and Said, ‘He Promised You’d Take Care of Me’

“You should’ve told me,” I said under my breath.

“I tried yesterday,” Adam said. “But you wouldn’t let me finish.”

I closed my eyes.

“I don’t know if any of this is true,” I said after a moment. “I’m sorry, I can’t handle any of this. I need to go,” I said finally.

And for the second time, I ran away from dealing with Adam.

I felt foolish.

When I got into my car, I knew I couldn’t go home. I needed to see Mr. Collins, Daniel’s lawyer.

If anyone had answers, it would be him.
