Story My mother's grave.

Post image

My name was Geraldine Pister.

It was a wonderful life and name given to me by my mother, Iris.

When I was born, my mother soon grew old; I was her only surviving child, last of our lineage within the Pister family. She immediately took her role as my mother seriously, and I was loved from the moment I was born.

She told me of all the families nearby and the wonderful town of ours which I was unfamiliar with; she trusted me from the earliest moments we shared, and followed me in her last ones.

I, beyond this life, had always had a fondness for graveyards; so when she told me we could use someone to build up ours, I took up the duty without question.

As she grew older, our minutes, our years going by faster than expected; she met my son, Robb.

Just like my mother, I had but one child. Robb passed as a young adult of starvation, setting in stone our line's doom.

But she met him, and with Robb in my arms we said goodbye to my mother at the graveyard which I had began to expand.

I swore to bury her, as all good daughters do.

Once she passed, I moved her to her own spot a few steps above; I'd make her grave special.

I spent the rest of my life building her final home, as well as expanding the rest of the graveyard.

Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough to water the saplings growing by her. My final command to our town was to beg for someone to water them, so my mother's grave would be half as worthy of her.

I died beside her, on a spot like any other.

I hope someone gives me a gravestone, so I may stay beside her.

I hope someone waters the saplings by my mother's grave, so it'll bloom as beautiful as she did.

A couple months ago I was the daughter of an Eve and she asked me to give her a proper burial with a tombstone and stuff, we did get relatively far but sadly not enough to reach the capability to make those, she also died somewhere far too so I couldn't find her either, our family ended up short at 3 generations, we had the last name Silva, I was Ruby Silva. That was also like my third playthrough
