The cemetery was a flurry of activity as the undertakers and pallbearers quickly gathered around the casket, their faces etched with confusion and shock. The pastor, who had stood by solemnly, now moved forward, his heart pounding as he clutched the edges of Lily’s casket. Anna Parker’s eyes brimmed with a mix of hope and fear as she rushed forward, practically throwing herself at the small casket that had held her child for what felt like an eternity.

With trembling hands, the undertakers carefully unsealed the casket, their movements swift yet gentle, as if afraid of what they might find. Max, the German Shepherd, stood beside them, his tail wagging frantically as he continued to bark intermittently, urging them on, his eyes never leaving the casket. The sky, previously overcast, seemed to hold its breath along with the gathered mourners.

As the lid slowly lifted, a collective gasp echoed throughout the cemetery. There, lying amidst the soft bedding of the casket, was little Lily Parker. Her eyes fluttered open, blinking against the sudden influx of light as she took in the faces peering down at her. Her lips moved as if trying to form words, but no sound came out. Tears streamed down Anna’s face as she reached into the casket, pulling her daughter gently into her arms, cradling her as if she were a newborn once more.
