He Saw His Mom Bury Something In The Garden And Learns What It Was Years Later

Thad’s intention in visiting his parents’ house was to spend quality time with his father, visit his mother’s memorial garden, and introduce the love of his life, Janice, to his family.

He had barely been there for a day when a realistic dream woke him from his sleep. He was covered in sweat and rushed outside with his shovel in hand. Before she died, he’d observed his mother visit that location in the garden for many years. He would learn why that evening.

Things Were Going Well

Twenty-nine-year-old Thad Coleman was a resident of Jacksonville, Florida. He was successful for his age and graduated from a top business school. His career as a community manager at one of the most prestigious tech companies was flourishing.

Things were also looking great for his personal life as well. He had met a fantastic girl recently, and she meant the world to him. She was so important to him, and he really wanted to introduce her to his father.

He had no idea that a simple trip back home would lead to the discovery of a secret that had been kept hidden for 25 years.

His Childhood Home

Janice and Thad were about five hours away from his childhood home. His father decided to continue living in the house, and Thad was welcome to visit whenever he wanted to.

However, work was crazy. He also spent more time getting to know Janice, which meant he did not go back home as often. They had been dating for a few months before Thad felt ready to introduce Janice to his dad. His journey back home would be unlike any other he had ever taken before.

True Love

Thad shared with Janice that his family was excited to meet her. They had been dating for more than a year at that point, and they knew that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

Thad kept a ring in his pockets for months, but he wanted to get his father’s approval first before getting down on one knee. Janice excitedly agreed to meet his family, and within the blink of an eye, they were in Miami.

Back Home

Thad gave his father a tight hug as soon as he saw him. However, as the two entered the house, Thad’s gaze fell on his mother’s memorial garden, bringing back memories of a different time.

He recalled his childhood in Miami when his family had recently relocated from Chicago. Thad became ill as a result of climate change, and his parents were scared they might lose him for over a month. This would be the start of a lengthy affair.
