Mourner At The Grave

A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man kneeling at a grave.

The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating:

- Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?

The first man approached him and said:

- Sir, I don't wish to interfere with your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I've ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?

The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied:

- My wife's first husband.
