I Will Endure

Adam cleared the snow beside his father's grave. Then, he began shoveling, digging a new grave on the ground.

It had been two days since his mother passed away in her sleep. On the first day, he simply thought that his mother was deeply asleep.

So yesterday he went off to work like usual, thinking everything was normal. It wasn't until last night that it slowly began to dawn on him that his mother was no more.

After saving up money, he bought lamb meat from the tavern. They hadn't had meat in months, so last night was supposed to be special.

The meat stew had gone cold, and now he had no one to share it with.

Adam cried the entire night last night. When the sun rose earlier today, he began digging a grave for his mother. It took him a very long time to dig the grave. The snowfall made it very difficult.
