3 Years after Son’s Death, Lady Opens Door on Halloween & Sees Kids in Costumes She Sewed for Him – Story of the Day

Rosemary, a bereaved mother, sat in her psychologist’s office, struggling to cope with her son Dave’s death three years ago on Halloween. Encouraged to celebrate the holiday, she decorated their home, hoping it would help ease her pain.

When her husband Lucas returned from a trip and saw the festive decorations, he was overjoyed. “I’m sure our son would be happy to see you smiling again,” he said, but Rosemary couldn’t shake her sadness as she prepared for the evening.

Suddenly, a knock on the door startled her. She opened it to find a group of children in costumes she had sewn for Dave. Shocked, she recognized the intricate details—buttons and patches she had lovingly crafted. Confused and distraught, she rushed to Dave’s room, only to discover it nearly empty.

Panicking, she called Lucas, who hesitated before revealing a secret: he had donated all of Dave’s belongings to a nearby shelter, where he had seen children who reminded him of their son. He had invited them over to share the joy of Halloween.

Tears streamed down Rosemary’s face. One boy, Tom, looked just like Dave, igniting a spark of hope. “I want to adopt him,” she whispered.

Months later, Tom moved in, filling their home with joy. On Halloween, he proudly presented his jack-o’-lantern. Rosemary wept with happiness, realizing Tom was a precious gift from Dave, a sign that love endures even beyond loss.
