Mom Meets Son at Cemetery and Asks Why He Was There, ‘I Don’t Know Who You Are,’ He Answers – Story of the Day
|George and Patricia visited the cemetery one day, only to find someone who looked exactly like their son there. They were surprised when the man did not recognize them at all.
George and Patricia started their family young. They were currently in their 50s, and they were pregnant with twin sons 27 years ago. During that time, Patricia had a healthy pregnancy. As she was expecting twins, she gave birth at 37 weeks to two beautiful and healthy young boys whom she named Roy and Patrick.
In the hospital during the birth was George, Patricia’s hospital roommate, Nancy, and Nancy’s OB-GYN husband, Dr. Arnold Fitzpatrick. He had delivered the two boys, and they were placed in the nursery while Patricia recovered in a separate room with Nancy.

While Patricia was able to see her twins, Nancy never left the room. It seemed strange to Patricia, but she thought nothing more of it as she was busy caring for her two boys.
Unfortunately, two days later, Dr. Fitzpatrick came into the room with bad news: “I’m sorry, Patricia, I’m sorry, George, but Patrick died of a rare contagious infection. We tried our best to resuscitate him, but he just wasn’t strong enough. He didn’t make it, I’m so sorry for your loss,” he said.
George and Patricia were in shock. Patricia had just held Patrick a couple of hours before his death, and he looked perfectly fine. “I don’t understand, I just held him a couple of hours ago. He was perfectly healthy,” she said, confused.
“You must be mistaken. How could he just die of a rare infection? How did we not know it was coming? Why wasn’t it prevented?” George asked. They had so many questions, but the doctor just couldn’t answer any of them. He only kept apologizing. “Where is he? I want to see him! I want to see my son!” Patricia pleaded, trying to get out of the hospital bed. Dr. Fitzpatrick asked the nurses to try and restrain her.
“Unfortunately, we are not allowed to expose you to him as the infection is contagious. It could also be fatal to you and to your other son, Roy. His remains are currently isolated at the morgue,” the doctor explained.
“No! This is impossible! I demand proof! My son can’t be dead, he was perfectly healthy!” Patricia said, sobbing as she yelled. George was in tears as well, trying his best to console his wife.
“I’m sorry for your loss,” Dr. Fitzpatrick repeated. “His remains will be given to you as soon as they are released by the morgue,” he said.
