He nodded, eyes glistening. “Your wife was one of the best people I’ve ever met. And I only spoke to her for five minutes.”
Every week, Mike and I sit beside Sarah’s grave — sometimes talking, sometimes just sharing the quiet. He tells me about Kaylee’s life: how she’s sixteen now, top of her class, volunteering at the children’s hospital that once treated her.

Last week, he brought her with him.
Kaylee knelt at Sarah’s grave, placed a bouquet of daisies, and whispered, “Thank you for saving me. I’ll live my life to make you proud.”
I couldn’t speak.

Mike and I aren’t strangers anymore. He helps around the house. Checks on my kids. His wife bakes for my daughter. We’ve become an unlikely family — bound by love, gratitude, and the legacy of a woman who gave without expecting anything in return.
People sometimes stare when they see us at the cemetery — the grieving husband and the biker sitting side by side.
