After Husband’s Death, Widow Gets Job as Maid in Rich Old Lady’s House and Sees Him There — Story of the Day
A young woman is given a chance to meet her supposedly dead husband again after she gets a job as a maid in a house owned by a rich old lady.
“You have reached Carl Joseph’s voicemail, I am not by my phone at the moment but I’m sure if you try again later, we can work something out.”
It was the fifth time Gloria Joseph was calling her husband, who worked as a transport officer for a logistics company. He had left home in a hurry after being summoned to make an impromptu delivery earlier that morning.

The couple had just returned from their honeymoon two months before, and her husband, who happened to be the only one with a job among them, had returned to work while she put their home in order.
In a sense, they were still newlyweds; however, the two had been friends first before they became lovers, so they knew each other well enough to know when something was out of the ordinary.
“I’ll be back by noon today,” Carl had told her earlier that morning as he got dressed.
“You have to be, we need to meet the doctor today to decide the best course of action to take concerning our family planning,” she had replied.
Gloria knew there was little to worry about; her husband always kept his word. However, as the afternoon passed, she started to wonder.
Three hours later, she decided to call him to see what was holding him up; however, it kept going to his voicemail. She waited another hour to try again, but a call from an unknown line interrupted her before she could dial.
“Yes? Who is this?” she asked eagerly.
It was a police officer with bad news; her husband had passed away in an automobile accident caused by a drunk driver.
“He died at the scene but his remains have been sent to a hospital. I will send you the address now,” the cop told her. “I’m very sorry for your loss,” he said as he ended the call, leaving Gloria with her thoughts.
“It can’t be,” she said to herself over and over as she tried to call his line.
“You can’t be dead!!” she yelled as she burst into tears.
