Offer to help her clean the graves she is already tidying because there is a mass tonight , and because as she says , “ Everyone once had a family .” When she asks the reason for your presence , tell her that you are looking for the grave of Aodhan O ’ Connor . Cry as your souls recognize each other and you get the tiniest glimpse of the deep pain of losing a boy so young . Realize Phil is your spirit guide as you walk together to the far corner of the cemetery . Let your faith be tested as you take in the finality upon meeting Aodhan ’ s grave . Realize his death is so fresh that he still does not have a headstone and unlike the others , his plot is unlined with stone edging , the gravel is absent . Rather a bed of fresh wood chips is covered in flowers . A rainbow rests above him : red , orange , yellow , green , indigo and violet bouquets have been delivered by those who must have loved him most . Listen as Phil tells you about Aodhan ’ s fatal head injury during the Russell Cup when he collided with another soccer player . Let your heart stop as you imagine John O ’ Connor watching his son slip away in the ambulance ride . Pray for Aodhan ’ s parents and for his sister . Stand and wonder who Aodhan was when he lived those short 14 years . Picture your son or brother . Promise to let his parents know how their sweet boy and his tragic story has changed your life . Return to Kool Scoops , order another ice cream , and notice how it tastes much sweeter and creamier than it did before .
