A Blind Elderly Woman Asked Me to Walk Her Home

It started as an ordinary morning—a quiet goodbye to my father at the cemetery. But by the next day, I found myself sitting in a police station, accused of a crime I didn’t commit. All because of my kind gesture toward an elderly blind woman.

Grief has a peculiar way of dulling time. Days stretch into weeks, and yet, every memory feels as sharp as a blade. It had been six months since I lost my father, and though life went on, the pain lingered. I found solace in visiting his grave every week, sharing with him the things I could no longer say in life.

That morning, the air was crisp, a gentle breeze rustling through the cemetery’s towering oaks. I stood by his grave, holding a bouquet of white lilies, his favorite.

“Goodbye, Dad,” I whispered, brushing away a tear.

As I turned to leave, I noticed a frail figure standing a few rows away near a freshly dug grave. An elderly blind woman, dressed in a simple black dress, clutched a white cane. Her dark glasses hid her eyes, but the slump in her shoulders spoke volumes.
