When Marie Robinson, a 45-year-old loving mother from Waterlooville, Hampshire, lost her beloved four-year-old son, Jack, the mother was inconsolable.
Three years after losing Jack to a brain tumor, Marie visited Jack’s grave and asked in tears if her boy could give her a sign.
As if her son heard her wish, a small robin, which is associated with death and a representation of the afterlife, landed on her foot and quickly flew towards her hand as well.
It was then that she was soothed by the presence of the tiny robin.
The bird was perched on the grave before flying over to her hand after she called it – and then she couldn’t help but break down in tears of gratitude.
A woman takes her little boy to visit their dead relatives’ gravestones at a cemetery.
The little boy has never been to a cemetery before. The woman first takes her son her grandmother Annie’s gravestone.
The initials under Annie’s name say R.I.P. The little boy asks, “Mommy, what does R.I.P. stand for?”
His mother replies, “It stands for ‘Rest in Peace.’ That means we wish for Grandma Annie’s spirit to find peace in the afterlife.”
Then, they come across the gravestone of the woman’s uncle Joe. The little boy asks, “Mommy, what does R.I.H. stand for?”, pointing to the initials printed under Uncle Joe’s name.
“We really didn’t like Uncle Joe.” Said his mother.
