During her father’s funeral, a little girl
The funeral proceeded as usual — slow, solemn,
and silent, broken only by muffled sobs and the priest’s words.
In the center of the hall stood a coffin lined with white fabric.
Inside lay a young man, taken too soon by a tragic accident.
Standing nearby was his wife, pale and distant,
and their young daughter — a two-year-old girl in a black dress.
