Sad Man 

A man placed some flowers on the grave of his dearly departed mother and 
started back toward his car when his attention was diverted to another man 
kneeling at a grave. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity and 
kept repeating, "Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?" 

The first man approached him and said, "Sir, I don't wish to interfere with 
your private grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I've ever seen 
before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?" 

The mourner took a moment to collect himself, then replied, "My wife's first 
husband."
