Chapter 15 - Daniel Finally Visited Michael’s Grave
Daniel had avoided Michael’s grave for three years.
One spring morning, he asked Laura and Evan to come.
He carried no flowers.
Only Michael’s letter.
At the grave, Daniel read it aloud.
His voice broke several times.
Michael had not written perfect forgiveness.
He had been angry about Daniel’s drinking.
He had demanded treatment.
He had warned him to stop lying.
But the final line was simple.
You’re my brother before you’re your worst mistake.
Daniel sat in the grass and cried.
Evan sat beside him.
Laura stayed a few steps away.
She understood that moment did not belong to her.
Later, Daniel folded the letter carefully.
“I think I’m ready to keep this somewhere safe.”
Evan smiled.
“Not my backpack.”
May you like
Daniel laughed.
“Definitely not your backpack.”
