Mum Couldn't Understand Why Son's Grave Was Green – Freaks Out When She Sees Why

Losing a kid is the worst kind of pain. Sadly, parents of military personnel who have children assigned in far, foreign nations daily worry about their children’s safety. Staff Sergeant Joseph Villasenor enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1994, and served honorably for 16 years.

Every morning, Jake wakes up and goes to church. Afterward, he has coffee with one of his nine children and then returns home. There, he clips some roses from his garden, making sure to take the most beautiful ones each time. Then he heads off to Garden Park Cemetery. At Betty's grave, he waters hear headstone before leaving the roses. Summer or winter, he always brings roses. But why? It turns out Jake is something of an old-school romantic. During the 65 years that he and Betty were married, he gave her one rose each day. So he continues this tradition and uses the occasion to talk to his beloved wife, whom he still misses deeply. In 2015, though, something happened that made him add one more thing to his routine.
