Clark, who cried often, missed his brother deeply as Ted understood him like no other. With his parents caught up in their grief and arguments, Clark yearned more than ever for his brother’s presence.
Clark, who cried often, missed his brother deeply as Ted understood him like no other. With his parents caught up in their grief and arguments, Clark yearned more than ever for his brother’s presence.
One night, amidst an intense dispute between his parents, Clark escaped and headed to the cemetery. With emotions raw, he shared his deepest feelings with Ted’s grave. In the numbing quiet, he was startled by strange voices nearby.
A group of young men dressed in robes approached. Initially intimidated, Clark watched as an older gentleman intervened, scolding the young men. The man, well-dressed and kind, told Clark not to fear them. After the onlookers dispersed, out of curiosity, he gently inquired why Clark was there alone so late.
Clark revealed he ran away after his home situation became unbearable, seeking solace at the grave. To Clark, his parents seemed distant, too engrossed in their grief to care about him.
Meanwhile, back home, Linda became anxious upon discovering Clark’s empty room. She attempted to contact Paul, who was unreachable after their last disagreement. Sensing where Clark might have gone, she grabbed her keys intending to drive to the cemetery. Just as she was about to leave, Paul arrived home.
“It’s late, where are you headed?” Paul queried. “Clark’s not home,” Linda hurriedly replied, “and I believe he’s at the cemetery.”
Upon their arrival, they found no sign of Clark but encountered a group burning papers. Among the group was a boy who informed Paul about Clark’s whereabouts after realizing the couple’s earnest concern.
The boy revealed that Clark was with Mr. Bowen, the graveyard caretaker, just minutes away. Relieved at this news, Linda and Paul knew their actions had hurt Clark and vowed to mend their ways.
When they reached Mr. Bowen’s cabin, they found Clark expressing his emotional turmoil to Mr. Bowen. Listening to Clark pour out his heart, his parents were deeply moved and realized the extent of their son’s distress.
Welcomed by Mr. Bowen, they embraced Clark, promising to be better and more understanding parents. Their moment of realization bridged the gap that had grown between them.
