Losing a loved one is always difficult, if not almost impossible, to endure, especially after many years of living with that person. A man from Johannesburg named Nigel was convinced of this immediately after his wife d_ied of cancer.
Nigel and his wife, Phedre Fitton, spent a lifetime together, until the day she lost her battle to cancer. Nigel was left devastated and could barely cope with the loss of his loving wife. However, before she passed away, she had one final wish, and that was for Nigel to take good care of the plants she kept in the bathroom by watering them regularly.
Needless to say, it became Nigel’s everyday activity. He wouldn’t spend a day without checking on them.
Phedre was known for her witty personality and a good sense of humor, but no one could imagine she would continue make the family laugh even after her passing.
As time passed by, Nigel would remember his sweetheart whenever he was around her lovely flowers.
At times, he could notice water running down while he was watering them but it wasn’t until he decided to move places five years after his wife’s death that he realized she played a prank on him.
He finally understood those plants were plastic. But he wasn’t mad at all, on the contrary, he was sort of glad Phedre could come up with something so vicious and funny at the same time.
Nicol shared a photo of her dad actually watering the plants, and people find it quite cute that he was so committed in answering his wife’s final wish.
This made the whole family took the time to recall all the fun things their mother and wife did while she was still among them.
Her vibrant personality was unlike any other’s and she will always be remembered as a lovely woman who wanted to make those around her happy.
They are sure she’s chuckling from above watching her hubby realizing he had been pranked.
