Gemma’s parents were also buried by Murphy. On the day of their burial, Gemma locked herself in the wardrobe again.
Murphy found her but did not force her to come out. Instead, he opened the wardrobe door and climbed inside to stay with her.
“Uncle Murphy, is it as dark and cold inside a coffin as it is here?” she asked with reddened eyes. “I dreamed that Mom told me to
join her in the coffin. She said it’s cold and lonely being in there all by herself…”
“That was just a dream,” Murphy reassured her. “Don’t be afraid. You’re not going anywhere. I won’t let anyone take you away
from me.”
She wrapped her arms around Murphy’s neck and softly whispered in his ear, “As long as you’re with me, I wouldn’t even be
scared of being in a coffin.”
It seemed Murphy still remembered that moment.
