“I led Meg down the path, around a fence, through the labyrinth. There it was, hovering: the gray-white oval stone. No visit to this place is easy, but this… Twenty-fifth anniversary.He continued: “We hesitated, hugged, and then I went ahead. I put flowers on the grave. Meg gave me a moment, and I talked to my mother in my head, told her that I missed her, she asked for guidance and explanation. Feeling that Meg also wanted a moment, I went around the fence, looked at the pond. When I came back, Meg was on her knees, eyes closed, palms on the stone.”Leaving the tomb, Harry remembers asking what Meghan had prayed for. “Clarity, he said. And guidance.”
