When someone close to you dies, regardless if it’s a friend or family member, the pain can be unbearable.Image: KiplingerWhether you’ve known them your entire life or their time on earth was tragically cut short, death is an uncomfortable situation and can leave you with more questions than answers.Finding Comfort
It can be hard to find comfort after the death of a loved one.Image: Elder Law AnswersMany people just simply don’t know how to cope and if they are working through the loss on their own, it can take quite a long time to heal. However, sometimes a simple act of kindness from a stranger can make all the difference.An Unexpected Act of Kindness
For one family, the loss of their son was almost too much to bear.Image: VeryWell HealthHowever, when another mourner unexpectedly reached out in an act of pure selfless compassion, the family was left stunned. You won’t believe this story of tragedy, compassion and newfound hope for humanity.A Dream Come True
For Staff Sergeant Joseph Villasenor, serving in the United States Air Force was a dream come true.Image: Dignity MemorialHe enlisted in 1994 and for sixteen years served vigilantly, pouring his heart and soul into his work. When Joseph was committed, he put 100% into everything he did.Going the Extra Mile
While serving in the Air Force, Joseph played for the Charleston Air Force Bases’s softball league.Image: Air Force Medical ServiceTo all of his fellow servicemen, he was the perfect example of a great man. Unfortunately, tragedy struck in 2010….Gone Too Soon
Joseph was only 36-years-old when he was killed in an unexpected car accident. His parents and wife he left behind were absolutely devastated over the tragic turn of events and decided his body would be interred in Conroe, Texas at the Garden Park Cemetery.Image: ABC7However, one day when his parents went to visit his grave they were shocked by what they found. And it was all thanks to a special stranger….A Widower Alone
Jake Reissig had lost his wife of 65 years in 2014 and had never quite recovered from her unexpected passing.

When she died, it was a devastating blow.Visiting the Cemetery
Despite losing her, Jake refused to say goodbye and made it a routine to visit her grave frequently.Image: Houston ChronicleHowever, while at the cemetery, he started to do something else as well and it would end up touching the lives of another family.A Daily Routine
For Jake, his day followed the same basic routine.Image: NewsnerHe went to church every single morning for prayer and then met one of his children for coffee before heading back home to work in his garden. The retired senior needed to keep busy, in some ways it was how he handled his grief.Everything’s Coming Up Roses
In the afternoon, he clipped some roses from his yard and then headed to Garden Park Cemetery to lay them on his wife’s headstone.Image: Little ThingsHe even goes the extra mile to water the area around the headstone to make sure the grass stays nice and green.But Why?
Friends and relatives questioned why Jake would go to the cemetery every day and the answer is so romantic. Throughout his 65-year marriage, Jake gave his wife Betty a rose every day they were together.Image: AmazonAnd he refused to give up a tradition even in death. However, in 2015, he decided to change up his routine by adding another task.A Terrible Drought
That summer, a sweltering drought hit Texas that caused all of the grass in the cemetery to die.Image: Epoch TimesIt made for a depressing sight, the brown grass surrounding the headstones, and Jake just couldn’t bear to see his wife’s resting place look so drab. Therefore, he came up with a solution.A Green New Deal
Jake began to water the grass surrounding his wife’s grave.Image: Practically ViralAs time went on, the extra effort paid off and the grass turned a vibrant green again.

It was a simple gesture by the retired senior, but he was happy he could bring a smile to her face for even just a moment.Doing Something
After the woman left, Jake still felt horrible for her predicament.Image: Click2HoustonHe had gotten the opportunity to spend a long life with his wife, and she had only a few short years with her husband. At that moment, Jake knew he needed to do something nice for her. You won’t believe what he cooked up!Paying Their Respects
It had been several months since Joseph’s parents Raymond and Rachel had visited their son’s grave.Image: Find A GraveRealizing they need to push down the pain and pay their respects, they decided to head to the cemetery and spend some time with their precious son. However, when they arrived the parents were shocked to find something extraordinary.Life Among the Dead
Despite the drought and the entire cemetery being dead and brown, the grass surrounding Joseph’s plot was a healthy, alive and vibrant green.Image: Life BuzzThe grieving parents were blown away by the sight and wondered how it was possible.A Miracle?
“I told my husband it had to be a miracle from Heaven,” Rachel said to the local media.Image: HDR Workshop“What else could have possibly explained it?” However, the parents were about to discover the truth and it was something that would move them to tears.I’ve Got Something to Say

Raymond and Rachel couldn’t believe that Jake would go out of his way to do something so special for their family.Image: Girls Ask GuysThey didn’t know how they could ever repay him, so Rachel simply gave him a huge hug, wiping away a few tears.No Longer Strangers
What Rachel and Raymond didn’t realize was that their son Joseph and Jake weren’t strangers after all.Image: LifeBuzzAt least not in Jake’s eyes. He had been visiting their son’s grave for months, watering it and keeping it up, so he felt they had grown to know one another in a spiritual sort of way.Just A Good Guy
According to Roger, Jake’s son, his dad’s affection for Joseph (who he now calls Joe) is just the way he is as a human being.Image: Life Buzz“He treats Joe just like he did my mom and siblings. He’s an affectionate man and lives his life selflessly.”.Sharing the Inspiration
Roger didn’t want his father’s good deed to go unnoticed.Image: FacebookAlthough his dad was a humble man, and always acted out of kindness with no need for recognition, he wanted his father for once to be praised for being such a good man.

As a grandfather, Jake formed a strong bond with his grandchildren and tried to lead by example of what pure love and selflessness can do for others.Still Married
Even though Jake’s wife has passed, his daughter considers them still married.Image: FacebookWhen the story of her dad’s kind gesture was picked up by the media, she shared a picture of her parents from their 6th wedding anniversary. “Mom and dad are still married, Mom just lives in Heaven.”.Live Your Truth
If there’s one thing that Jake hopes people takes away from his story, it’s to live each day with purpose and to put love above all things.Image: CBSYou never know what positive impact you can make on someone’s life through one small gesture of kindness.
